requiescat in invidia

i didn’t know you
i never knew you
i was never aware of you
but if you are anything like me
then i know you better than anyone here
you never wanted this attention
you never wanted the publicity
you only wanted to be left
alone
and now a thousand and
a half people
and three different
schools
are coming together
to commemorate your pain
and that’s exactly what we didn’t want to happen
you could have gotten help
you could have been found out
you could have been put on drugs
and been unable to think for yourself
but where’s the fun in that?
i envy you
i really do
they say that you never let them even
take a glimpse at
the things that you felt
and that your
personality
was always
bright
and bubbly
and you were never without a smile on your face
and that’s what we wanted them to think
that’s what the act was for
but because of this
this came as a surprise
if only you had failed
and gotten the help you wanted
but never needed
perhaps it wouldn’t have
hurt everyone so much
