How am I surrounded
When all I feel is void
I know I'm in a crowd
Because I hear the noise

I hear the children laugh
I hear their mothers sing
I hear their fathers chide
And the wedding bells ring

But they never laugh with me
And I've never had a song
No one ever chided me
And the sound of bells is gone

In a world full of people
And a place that's full of love
It's strange how I am lonely
And it's strange I never laugh

I used to have a smile
The old folk called me sweet
I was their own dear child
Grandma would pinch my cheek

Now I am an outcast
The runoff from the road
No one ever sees me
You see I am alone
I haven't posted in a long time. But here is a scribble I just jotted down.
I have been thinking a lot lately about why it is, that in a world with so many people, there are so many lost and lonely people.
And it has made me think about how I am influencing people everyday, even if I don't realise it. Just a simple smile can make a persons day.
Let's share some joy with those who can't find it on their own.
