You Feel Me? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You Feel Me?



Everything and everyone under the Sun,
Seeks to be closer to something...
Or someone.

Rarely are there exceptions to this.
Unless someone has been taught,
To forget this closeness nonsense...
And wont have none of it.

Still there can be seen trees growing majestically.
Even someone or some 'thing',
That stands out to get attention it brings.

But when it comes to hearts, eyes and ears...
It becomes difficult to separate them,
From the touch of emotions.

I'm not going to admit I know a thing about this,
Since I am suppose to be aloof, cold and indifferent.
To those I choose to be aloof, cold and indifferent to!

I am not experiencing my life,
Just to be used to benefit someone else's pleasures.
I have my own I'd like to 'share' to get 'there'.
You feel me?
I wish you could!

Everything and everyone under the Sun,
Seeks to be closer to something...
Or someone.

And when it comes to hearts, eyes and ears...
It becomes difficult to separate them,
From the touch of emotions.

I'm not going to admit I know a thing about this,
Since I am suppose to be aloof, cold and indifferent.
To those I choose to be aloof, cold and indifferent to!

You feel me?
No not you.
The other one to the left of you and looking away!

I feel you. This is a great poem Lawrence. 'Everything and everyone under the Sun, Seeks to be closer to something... Or someone' So true. I like the twist at the end, it's hard to add humour to such a deep topic but you did it so well. Giovanna x
