Seat Five, Row Five

• Artist: Dr. OCD
• Description: To truly understand this poem, you need to know me. The first section self-explanatory. The second section talks about what I always wear and some features. The third talks about things significant to me. I laugh silently, seat five, row five refers to my seat in the theater, bunnies make me cry, I have a terrible memory, my favorite scent is lilacs, 5:53 is my time. I didn't write it to be emo or anything, I just often wonder what the world would be like without me in it.

If I left, would you notice?

If I crawled under my covers and disappeared, would you care?
If you called out for me and I did not answer, would you worry?
If we played hide-and-seek and I hid too well, would you give up?
If we were racing down the road and I tripped, would you look back?

Would you miss my torn-up green Converse?
My eco-friendly Levi jeans?
My zip-up hoodies and 90’s reference t-shirts?
What about my crooked smile and thick black glasses, or my color-changing eyes?
Would you miss the feel of my golden yellow hair flowing through your fingers?

Would you mind if you never heard my silent laugh again?
Would you be bothered by the lack of presence in seat five, row five?
When you saw bunnies, would you cry for me?
When you forgot, would you remember me and shake your head?
Would the smell of lilacs bring me back into your life?
When you looked at the clock and it said 5:53, would you think of me?

Would you laugh, would you cry, would you care… if I left?

It's not ultra amazing, or incredibly original, but it does mean a lot just reading it. I think a lot of people could relate, in a way, to the meaning of this.
