You walk by me in the halls1
Never glancing my way2
Alwys looking at everyone else3
I try to get your attention4
But you don't seem to see me5
Its as if I don't exist6
You hang out with your friends7
Making jokes and laughing8
Alwys having a smile on your face9
I stand to the side10
Alone and quiet11
Hoping one day you'll notice me12
Hoping you'll finally see me13
You never talk to me14
But you talk to everyone else15
I guess you just don't like me16
I guess I don't matter to you17
I write you a letter18
And drop it in your locker19
Then go home to the gun that sits on my dresser20
I close my eyes and pull the trigger21
The next day you find my letter22
You only know who I am because of the news23
It neve occured to you that I might know you24
As you read my words you start to shake25
When your through, the note falls to the ground26
You finally see me27
You finally understand28
If you had just looked at me29
I would still be alive30
If only you had said hello to me31
My parents wouldn't be in mourning32
If you had smiled at me33
You wouldn't feel the guilt you feel now34
If only you had cared35
You would have discovered36
How much I loved you37
And how much it mattered to me38
For you to notice me39
Thats all I ever wanted
Author notes
Its very important to always care about people even if you don't know them, because you never know if you are the one person that helps them hold on.

Intense.
This is crazy. Even though it's true that you should try to be nice to everyone, in the end all she was thinking about was herself. How could she put all of that guilt onto him? Anyways, Lines 3 and 9 Always is spelled as Alwys for some reason.

Your authors notes, I like. It makes me think.
As does your poem. I like it, and the meaning behind it.
It's pretty powerful stuff, too.
Good work here, this has a lot of potential! =)
Thanks so much for entering my contest, and I wish you the best of luck!
