I Wonder

I wonder if people notice the sadness I feel, or if it just seems like one large smile.

I wonder if they notice the difference in the day, or if it all feels normal.

I wonder if people notice the silence, or if it's piled away with quietness.

I wonder if people notice the lost, or if it all is their new profoundness.

I wonder if people notice the dying, or if they're focused on their living.

I wonder if people notice the pain, or if it's just their succession.

I wonder if people notice the tears, or if it's indistinguishable.

I wonder if people notice the broken, or if their walls are too high.

I wonder if people notice the longing.

I wonder if anyone notices me.

<p>This is eloquent, and I think more people should read this and ask themselves (or at least wonder) whether they fall into these ways of thought themselves at times. I've been guilty of some haha. My fave line is "<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I wonder if people notice the broken, or if their walls are too high." </span></p>
