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?
