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

I love this.

"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"

This is my favorite stanza.
Nice write.

some live out their lives
not knowing who they are
you are so fortunate

you have a spark
of who you are
even now i ponder

what do i write in
all about me
if i do, do i understand

[John Stussy]

Excellent poem of humanity Ray, everyone has felt more than a few of the emotions you listed, and you remind us all that we aren't alone, no matter how lonely the world may feel.

I really love this work. It's not just you. Fabulous write... The repeating theme really adds to the ambiance of the piece. Many Cheers.

Ray, I love this piece. I remember when you first posted it and how I just kept saying, "YES!" It's a wonderful feeling to know that I'm not alone in the things that I think and feel. This piece validates so much. It's beautiful work. Definitely one for my favorites.
