All I Need: Humanity.


Sometimes we feel lonely

We feel like, if we don't have somebody, then we have nobody.

To feel appreciated it feels like we need have a body.

A voice, a tone, something to be heard.

When sometimes even after your left with one word.

Speaking up will make a difference, all you need to do is sit down and listen.

 

To explain this poem in short, it is someone who is depressed. I write about this

because, this is something I have faced in my own life. I wouldn't speak to anyone,

and the only thing that made me happy was helping others. This poem goes out to the,

people who feel like helping othes makes them happy, and if you just sit down and

listen you may end up making someone's day ten times better. As the late Robin

Williams said, "I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because

they know what it's ike to feel absoluely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that.
