What Is Wrong

What is wrong with everyone?
Are we so caught up with ourselves we do not notice everyone else?

Have we all gone out for some air?
Only to see that no one is there.

Why am I the only one that sees? 
There is more to the world than just me?

We only have one life to live you see.
So why do we act like we have two or three?

For you see the life we live is not what we want to see.
We only want to live in a fantasy.

Sadly, I see much avoidance , disconnection and denial lately. I can relate to your poem. Well done. Happy New Year :)
