I skipped school today.
I know no one would notice.
I have no friends to say,
"Where is she? "
The teachers will not know who is missing
And my oral report can wait.
The kids in class have never known my name.
My parents have forgotten I exist,
Or maybe they don't remember.
But if you ask how much a bottle of whiskey costs, they will give you a list.
The police -if they're contacted- won't be able to find me.
Because the pictures of my "childhood" have been erased.
When I said that I skipped school... I didn't mean just today.
If I leave I would call it escape.
Others would say I ran away.
Ran away from what ?
Who am I ?
The girl with no name.
The girl who sat in the back, always with her head down.
Sleeping ? No.
Wishing I had someone to share my notes with, or to simply to share a smile with.
A smile.
Something so foreign...just like friends.
Who will take my place if I simply disappear?
Simply disappear.
I can't disappear,
if no one noticed I was here.
If I leave and not come back,
Would I be a runaway ?
Or... If I stay I would fade into the background.
Cast aside like a useless object.
A forgotten memory.
A girl with no name.
No life.
No friends.
A girl without an existence.
Without a family.
Without a reason to be.
Can I be considered missing,
if no one looked for me ?
I just want to be found.
But no one noticed I was lost.
