Sonder

You walk past a passer by,

without thinking about it.

You walk past a passer by,

without remembering about it,

You walk past a passer by,

without realising it.

It seems that you are concerned with your own mind.

Yours and yours alone

After all it is all you can be sure of.

It seems that you forget about the others

Other that have minds of their own

Some might argue you inevitably act as a

Solipsist.

There seem to be some days however,

You walk past a passer by

and you think about it

and you remember

and you realise

Others are minded too

Silly you might say

Obvious even

But do not deceive yourself

We all do it

We forget about other minds

And we forget that each person on this planet has a life

Life that consists of complications

sorrow, laughs, tears, smiles, complexity, simplicity

family, loneliness, optimism, depression

morality and evil

It's not just you who owns a life

It's everyone.

Think about it.

Sonder.
