Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Dont Feel Alive

I don’t feel alive he said.
What do you do for fun? I asked.
Nothing.
What do you like to do?
He shook his head ‘no”.

Who are your friends?
I don’t have any, he told me.
Who do you play with?
No one.

What gives you joy?
What do you mean?
What makes you happy?
Nothing.

Here is my advice, I tell him.
Do everything you can until you find something you LOVE to do.
Then do that!
He rolls his eyes.

L Milton Hankins August 16, 2022 at 9:18 AM The very best advice often goes unheeded. However, that shouldn't stop us from doing what we can! Caren Krutsinger August 16, 2022 at 11:34 PM We always keep trying; it is what we do.
