Do you ever have a moment that suddenly it     SLAMS             into you                                                                   you          are    alive. And seven billion people     write the same story. You wonder,   alone in the crowded Seattle-Tacoma airport, if someone    will ever hold your empty heart    like the man in a gray business suit and the woman wearing a striped neckerchief. Will someone ever be upset your flight didn’t depart at the expected time, and give the bouquet of rhododendrons to a stranger. Will someone ever burst into a full sprint upon first glance at you, deliriously happy that you are       home. Will someone ever    acknowledge that   you are alive,   breathing for a change, wishing    for a slow dance, loss of insanity. Will someone ever, in the passengers    of the world,                    notice you.

I keep repeating lines, not sorry. Had to write a poem for my final within two hours and this is the best I could do without a computer. The spaces look better on Word, I don't know why it's messed up here
