Standing alone

Life is like a box of chocolate,

They said

You never know what you're gonna get,

They said

Perhaps convinced as an affirmation with the absence of choice

Perhaps relieved with the possibilities of desired fate

To discern the perception of a life that was once so special;

To seek the optimistic idea of life, or the severe impact of reality

Yet here we are wondering

Whether it's your sleepless nights or your Sunday mornings

We crave for the dreadful truth behind 'reality'

Leading to nothing

But mustered brains;

All intended to seek the truth behind everything.

Thoughts and ideas stitching together as one

Fragile hearts misleading us into a thousand emotions

'Till the truth traps us with deceit

To the certainty that we are all

Just walking fleshy pieces and curious minds

In a world so occupied

Yet here we are,

Standing alone.

Wonderfully crafted with carefully chosen words. Yes - even in a crowd, we stand alone.
Well done, dear poet.

The truth is we are not alone....but one, at least in the soul. I do get the standing alone in our human form where we wonder but do not find answers.
