Will Anyone Remember Me?
Will anyone remember me?
I write down all my notes,
I pay attention in class,
but no one talks to me.
I am too busy studying.
Will anyone remember me?
I spend hours typing,
I turn in my paperwork on time, and
my sole friend is my coffee cup.
I am too busy working.
Will anyone remember me?
I look at my calendar,
I see a holiday coming up
and think of vacation, but shake my head.
I am too busy earning money.
Will anyone remember me?
I hear the birds chirping,
I listen to the people outside, but
not one blind is open.
I am too busy on the Internet.
Will anyone remember me?
I lay in the nursing home,
I cannot move
and I cannot see.
I am too busy trying to breathe.
Will anyone remember me?
“I am too busy,” I tell the nurse.
I am—but
wait.
...was I really busy?
Will anyone remember me?
