Seen Once and then Forgotten
I remember
People‘s faces
Names I‘ve heard in passing
But I wonder
In all these places
Am only I not laughing?
Nowhere I walk
This strangeness leaves
Familiarity gone from the dictionaries
Do they look away with mind
Or do they just not care?
Could it be they‘re blind
Or don‘t have time to spare?
A grain of sand
Among millions on land
Is that what I am?
A shard of glass
Lying on the grass
That is what you are?
If so, we are
Somehow the same
Faceless and without a name
We drown in this sea
That subdues our plea
To be seen, to be heard
This sea called Planet Earth
Where people are like trees
Looked on once and then forgotten
Wounds that no none sees
Fester and become rotten
Or maybe we are like stars
Hard to find twice in the sky
Everyone bears these scars
Yet we‘re alone when we cry
