Slip Away

A disappointment to my parents
A bother to my brothers
A nuisance to my peers
A burden to my friends
A name to my school
A face to my loves
An enemy to myself
A stranger to the rest of the world
For if I slipped away, at any moment
Hardly anyone would know the difference
The planet wouldn't notice me gone
The ground wouldn't miss my steps
The sky wouldn't grieve my gaze
The blanket wouldn't mourn my tears
Not even I
Would wish for me to return
