Wherever I go...

People pass by

 

I can see that they're in their own worlds

 

talking to someone

 

I walk along with them

 

alone

 

 

 

I brush past them

 

each bump

 

makes me anxious

and lonely

 

 

 

Then I remember

 

how weak I must seem

 

to want

 

that simple

 

human connection

 

I seem frail

 

don't I?

 

I never reach out

 

with open arms

 

holding out my hand

 

for someone else

 

 

 

I just sit

wait

 

for a person to come

 

a person to smile

 

give me a few words

 

of true kindness

 

and friendliness

 

 

 

I hope

 

when this happens

 

I won't shrink

 

away

 

I won't deny it

 

and hide

 

 

 

So all I will do

 

is sit

 

and wait

 

Is that

 

wrong

 

for me to not take

 

any action

 

to not make

that simple move?

 

 

 

perhaps

 

and perhaps not!

This is a quest for an answer... a likelihood event in which finding the truth will make you whole again... the people around you just seem like shadows... but they are real to the touch... only time heals the answer you're looking for in this write... perhaps is likely you're answer...
