I'm not as fortunate as them
I'm not as privileged.
While they grew and followed the natural course of human experience,
I seem to have been left behind.
Unnoticed, unseen,
Shivering alone in the cold.
They are understood, kissed, warmly held
While I haven't been able to shake this empty space the size of Jupiter
This constant reminder of the love I do not receive
But desperately,
Ferociously crave.
I wonder if they recognize their fortune.
I want to ask, Do you see the ineffable beauty and rarity in the the love you carelessly enjoy, the love some of us have been simply
waiting for
Restlessly
Like a washed out commuter
waiting for the bus
Whose driver must have gotten lost?
But they wouldn't have the capacity
To see
Or appreciate it the way I do.
The way I would
If I had what they had.
If I had someone, anyone.
