Feel

Do you?

Do you ever feel lost?
Lost in a sea of faces,
All floating in the tranquility of the blue mass.
Lost in a swarm of bodies,
Deserted, as they pass.

Do you ever feel alone?
Alone, even though you are surrounded by many monotonous souls.
Alone.
In that these strangers are in fact strangers to your experience,
Never having felt this numbing cloud of alienation.

Do you ever feel unloved?
Unloved by those who you exposed your inner light to,
Leaving you wandering in the darkness,
Your light no longer shining like the diamond that it is
And wondering how this came to, 
Become what it is.

Do you ever feel unappreciated?
Unappreciated by those who you gave your all to,
The brilliance of your mind made meaningless,
Randomly left on cloud 8,
Your beauty taken for granted.


Do you?

Do you ever feel these things?

Naomi , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
