Seppuku
You may not know me,
But I’m the man who drives you to school every morning,
The man who you never say ‘hello’ to,
When you drop your oddly assorted coins into the coin box.
See you won’t remember me,
But I am the old man standing outside the liquor store,
Who asked you for some change.
You don’t know me,
But I’m the 14 year old girl who doesn’t want to mother a product of rape.
I don’t think you notice me,
But we always cross paths in the halls.
See, you might not remember me,
But I’m the kid who sat behind you in 4th hour English,
The one who always used to tell you how well you looked,
Every day,
Yeah, The one you always ignore.
I’m not sure you notice me,
But I’m the one that doesn’t go home at night,
For fear my brother’s drunk again.
Yeah, you don’t know me,
But while you were at home, still playing with your Barbie-dolls and Matchbox cars,
I was the kid laying in a hospital bed,
Wondering if I’d wake up tomorrow.
I was the one,
The one who always used to ask you to the dance,
And you’d say no, because your friends were there.
I’m the guy,
That one who sells drugs to feed my 4 kids,
And my dying wife.
Yeah, I’m the kid,
The kid that you used to make fun of on the playground.
See, you don’t know me,
But I’m just like you,
I bleed like you,
I cry like you,
But See, you’ll never know me,
Because I won’t be there tomorrow.
