is it just me

I know the answer, it's written here everyday.

is it just me

who's afraid of clowns

who counts with his fingers

when there's no-one around

who can't drive in traffic

with the music up loud

who looks for the corner

in the midst of a crowd

 

is it just me

who likes being alone

sitting in the darkness

of an empty room

i stare for hours

into a star filled sky

and wonder how many others

searched just as i

 

am i the only one

to feel a broken heart

to think life was over

to feel torn apart

who swore to the heavens

to never love again

is it just me

who let love back in

 

is it just me

whose faith turned weak

with questions so many

to a god that doesn't speak

and does everything good

always seem to just fade

and am i all alone

in this lonely charade

 

does anyone else

feel what i feel

am i all alone

is any of this real

 

is it just me

who gets weary of it all

who walks in the rain

and asks... is this all

life is a gift

i know that it's true

why then do i question

is this the best god can do

 

we live a little

we laugh and we cry

we dance to the music

of our time you and i

this is our life

our time on the stage

this is our book

this is our page

 

am i all alone

in the things that i see

if we are all human 

then the answer is no

it is not just me

Was searching around to see if there was something on your site I had missed and clicked on this one because of remembering its title and content. This is one of your best my friend. Counting on your fingers? Are we supposed to wait till no one is around? ROTFL Just wanted you to know that I had been here. Take care of you. Hugs, Lesa

[Aspiring Angel]

NO IT IS NOT JUST YOU MY FRIEND! This one really touched my emotions this morning. This is so true for all of us for time to time and I seem right now to be spending my time. ROTFL

Hugs,
Lesa

No, it's not just you.

I also count on my fingers ;-)

So many of us will be able to relate to it.
This is an exceptional write, one of those pieces that I want to save.

It's not just you. ;o Great poem! Very fun to read, I particularly enjoyed the part about listening to loud music in traffic... Haha, I'm always listening to something really awkward too. >.>;

Rain, this is a favorite. It's not just you. I know we all feel this way.

[DarkAngelWriter]

No, Rain. Me too. Another great.

[Blackbirdsong]

Nope it's not just you...I only stopped counting with my fingers a little while ago...not sure why but I noticed I'd stopped...unless I only do it when I'm not noticing...and yeah that clowns thing...yeah...scary guys...ick

[Jane Doe]

No, you are not alone! The clowns, sitting in the darkness, weakened faith, I can relate to all of those! This is such a wonderfully written poem, I just love it. Great job!

[Butch Decatoria]

Wonderful piece, flawless rhyme scheme.
It contains a youthful wonderment about it, to question is only human, my friend.
Thank you for sharing.
