For mythinkingbox: you write beautifully and your comments make me laugh. =)

You look, but you do not see.

You hear, but you do not listen.

You say things that have no meaning.

You touch other lives without feeling.

I’m here, but I am not seen.

I speak, but no-one listens.

I voice things that have real meaning.

I’m hurt but I’m still feeling.

You touch, but you cannot feel.

You taste, but you cannot savour.

You deny yourself every joy,

And distract yourself with useless toys.

I’m touched, but I feel too much.

I eat; bittersweet each flavour.

I search for life’s every joy.

I have the whole world as my toy.

You think, but never question.

You exist, but you never live.

You hate what you don’t know.

You follow where others go.

I ask, but no-one answers.

I live, each day till death.

I accept that we will never know.

I tread where others fear to go.

You cry, but no-one hears you.

You hide, but you can’t escape.

You smile while inside you’re dying.

You fall on wings too frayed for flying.

I cry for you, not me.

I search your eyes and see.

I seek for life’s true meaning.

I’m hurt, but I’m still feeling.
