y'know
i finally realized that
nobody
really
cares.
i know-
it sounds harsh,
but often that's what reality is.
you see,
it started off slowly,
notifications on my phone became a rare and uncommon occurrence,
receiving a phone call isn't even in the question anymore.
and often my presence felt,
as though it was testing others endurance.
so i adapted.
i got louder in conversations,
so i wouldn't get drowned out.
and i didn't tell anything if they asked how i was,
or if i was okay,
because what if they found out?
it's not like they'd care.
they would just judge,
and then not be there.
so i slowly faded away.
because i can guarantee-
if i stopped texting them first,
i would never hear from them again.
nobody really cares.
