I exist
No I dont have many friends I can list
Nor a location I can name
and I find that many don't feel the same
but I know I am real
I may not know the feel
of the ground brushing against my feet
and I bet it would be neat
to know the soft cushion of a seat
but I think I am here
And just to be clear
Not here in the realm of things
Where shadows dance and sing
inbetween the grooves of the stones I lay
As dark as can be, whether night or day
watching the shadows run about
I stomp my feet and shout
"I EXIST!"
To the dismay of no one, my cry goes out
here it comes, the cave of doubts
It vibrates through the rocks and the cracks
as it starts to crumble I start my attack
I search for validation through my mind
to speak your abcs in reverse they inclined
"z,y,x,w..." I feel my thoughts entwined
"v...u...damn it" in defeat I reclined
after hours, what have I come to find?
No one can say the alphabet backwards.
A shadow on the cave heard my words
His chuckles bounce to the rhythm of my heart
I take a deep breath, before my final words to impart.
"Here I am"
Listening to all and being heard by some
"For I am real"
As I touch the heart of one
"I exist"
Because I influenced his life at least once
