The World Will Know Croquet

in #poem7 years ago

Have you ever wondered
What it's like
To feel alone?
Truly alone?

Do you care about others?
Do you feel sympathy?
Do you feel?
Do you feel anything?

Has anyone made you happy?
Has anyone made you feel truly happy?
Do they make you smile?
Or do they know who your true self is?

Do they understand you?
Do they speak to you?
Or do they just reply to you?
Do they really care?

Are you a part of their lives?
Do you have a plot of land
Marked on the world of their lives?
Or are you the moon, orbiting within eyesight
But thousands of miles away?

If mankind ceased to exist
How long would you take to realize?
Minutes, hours, days, weeks?
Would you realize because someone didn't text you, "Good Morning"?
Or because you had to go shopping?
