But I'm Just Here

By naninina

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

When each of you is running fast, I stop and let you pass me by. I look at you at my right, and the other you at my left. Then far but still my eyes could reach, I see a crowd, and the crowd is again, you. I see you, trying to be a winner. Or is there really a winner? I'm standing and looking at you sadly. Crying and screaming for you. I'm just here, trying to remember, why do we run? Does that race exist? Why do we not walk and feel the air, sun, and moon? Why are you in a hurry? Why do you think I am your enemy? You are so angry, why do you not smile? I am far behind you, but yet I could see you. Could you see me? No? but I'm just here.2001, Written September 29th, 2001 © on Sep 28 2001 06:23 PM PST   0 • 9
