“If I Vanished Tomorrow”
If I vanished tomorrow, would anyone care?
Would they notice the silence, the weight in the air?
Would they scroll past my name like a stranger online—
Or whisper to heaven, “That soul once was mine”?
Would they read through my texts like they held sacred light,
Or remember the times I said, “I’m not alright”?
I gave all my love in invisible ways,
But they only saw me on convenient days.
I laughed when I broke, I smiled when I sank,
And covered my pain with a joke or a prank.
I held up the world for the ones I adored,
But when I was drowning, they washed up ashore.
I answered their calls at the dead of the night,
But my phone stayed silent when I lost the fight.
I became their rock, their “you’re all that I’ve got”—
But when I was crumbling, they suddenly… forgot.
I prayed to a God with a whisper so small,
“Please, if I fall, don’t let no one call.
Let me go quiet, let me fade slow,
So they won’t pretend they cared or they know.”
Because what hurts the most isn’t dying alone—
It’s living each day like your worth isn’t known.
It’s smiling at people who see through your skin,
Not knowing the war that you’re fighting within.
So if you still see me—don’t wait ’til I’m gone.
Don’t send me a flower. Just check in at dawn.
Because love isn’t loud, it’s the quietest sound…
Of someone who’s hurting but still sticks around.
