The Small Things

Not washing my face in the morning or night,
Brushing my teeth in thirty seconds, or not at all,
Staying on the ground after a fall,
Skipping a meal, or having a bite.
Sitting in my room for hours without light,
Quietly thudding my head against the wall,
Watching the phone screen turn black when there’s a call,
There’s no sorrier sight.

Things like these go unnoticed,
But I do want people to see.
Do say so please, if you can tell me why.
Because for years I have waited,
But those close to me,


Won’t understand when I say goodbye.
