life thoughts

Why is it that when I'm surrounded by the most people, 

I feel the most alone?

 

That when I think of the billions of other 

living,

breathing

humans,

I feel a pit in my stomach,

swallowing me up from the inside, 

overpowering me with all-consuming darkness. 

 

How can a single grain of sand 

feel remembered,

when it looks the same 

as billions of others?

 

I stare at my footprints in the sand

watching the waves rise,

then recede,

struck with the sudden sinking realizing,

I've witnessed the world after my death.

Your poem reminds me of Psalm 139 where it says, amongst other things, that GOD's thoughts towards us number more than the grains of sand. Your poem sounds like a psalm! 💗
