you stop and see
that there is more
so much more now
to everyone around
they're not a someone
not a face in the crowd
they have hopes and dreams
struggles and down days
Ever individual
we will ignore
going about life
focused on ours
Sonder is a beautiful word. It means the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.
