#9 of Poetry

Sometimes I wish I was a simple man, for then I could enjoy simple things and live a simple life,
But this is not for me, for I can't feel these feelings, only imagine and apply.sigh

Surrounded by people,  
smiling, laughing,  
over things that,  
don't even matter.

I hate them,  
I envy them,  
they feel fulfilled,  
with nothing at all.

Why can't I feel,  
like I am needed?  
My life has no meaning,  
no place on this world.

Still I am trying,  
smiling along,  
trying to feel,  
with nothing at all.

Surrounded by people,  
smiling, laughing.  
Living without feeling,  
Because I don't matter.
