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

You penned this perfectly. The closure assures the reader that this is how all humans may feel. I am, like you, one to enjoy solitude and times alone. These are the times I can be me with no distractions. The flow of this poem is perfect, no words seem forced. Nice write all in all!

hey, i have asked myself these questions. for me it is a 'change' issue.

thought provoking and more than often true.
very good writing.

Always,

Amanda

Well, clearly you're nottheonly one.
Ha.
Good though, this one. I like it a lot; mostly because it's easy to relate to for most.
Honest though, it was reallynocely done. And also, even though it doesn't make much difference, the font is nice, flowing and all.
Ha....

nah it isnt just you...good write rain and it has been awhile but it is a pleasure as always

[Catrinka]

I loved this write - deep, moving, thought-provoking - and I think everyone feels like this at least sometimes but doesn't express it. You do, and well. Excellent!

[Danielle Asher]

the end is good and so important. these questions will go on and on and on but what we need to know is we are not alone. I think you kind of said something like that in the note/description you left up top, that you already knew the answers. Just writing a piece like this so other people can see they are not alone is so powerful.
Really nice work. oh and I love that you started off in the beginning about clowns. They really are so scary. lol

peace,
Danielle

wow i really think this asked a question that we all think about this poem inspierd me

[Poeticpiers]

I enjoyed this immensely my friend. Your conclusion is accurate as your observations we all feel this way at times and ask the same questions but not many as articulately
