It’s rather easy,
In a world where social media dominates interaction,
To find people with whom conversation never ends,
To find people with whom you feel inspired,
You’re never bored,
And life’s every instant is an adventure,
Because of some new idea introduced into your discussions,
Things that surprise you,
That make you happy,
That keep you alive.
But what I find tough,
And what we miss out on,
Is searching for people to reach out, with
A hand,
To hold, on nights of sorrow,
A shoulder,
To lean on when life’s stability disappears,
A person,
To share our silences,
And understand every word that’s left unsaid,
Because silence sometimes heals wounds that
Words merely pierce,
And jokes merely shatter,
And time merely intensifies.
