Can you see me?

Suicide

Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Or am I invisible to you?
I follow, wanting to be noticed
And yet, you never do
I've longed to hang around you
For once to have a friend
To have a place where I belong
Where my status does not depend
Maybe I don't say much
But you never talk to me
You despise that I try so hard to fit in
Because my difference is all you see
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Or are my accomplishments in the way?
I've been put up on a pedestal
And people listen to what I say
Yet in my heart, I'm lonely
Just another face in the crowd
And though I'm being seen by all
What have I done to be proud?
People enjoy my company
My place has been reserved
But do they like me for who I am?
Which friends do I truly deserve?
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Please tell me that you can't
I'm so ashamed of who I am
My reputation I cannot recant
I build up walls around myself
So that you cannot get in
To hide myself from harsh winds of words
That burn me from within
When I walk, I look down at my feet
To you, my expression unclear
So maybe you'll forget who I am
And then I'll disappear
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Not that I actually care
Why should your opinion matter to me?
To me, you're not even there
Who are you to judge me?
To say what I do is wrong?
You think you're somehow better than me?
And that I need you to belong?
I prefer to mind my own business
It's something you should try
I feel a need to be alone
Without your constant need to know why
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
This is your last chance
Tomorrow morning, I won't be here
You won't have a second glance
You didn't see me when I asked
You didn't even care
I cried out to you so many times
But to you, I wasn't there
Maybe you wanted to help me
I know I put up a fight
But I know I'll never deserve you
So it's time to say goodnight
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Does it matter what I say?
I know I've changed throughout the years
And you like me better this way
You were the one who stopped me
That night I had planned to die
You were the one who opened my eyes
And showed me what I felt was a lie
Do you understand? Are you listening?
It shames me to know it's true
I know I've caused you a lot of pain
But I'll make it up you
