Humanity
Why do we long and crave human company,
When together they can cause trouble and strife,
But solitary loneliness challenges ones insanity,
Feelings and emotions struggle in this life,
I did not ask to be who I am,
This makeup of me is all that I have within,
At times tears can well and flow for quite a span,
Memories of good, bad and sad send my head in a spin,
One converses with words, emotions and sound,
When alone these feelings are in compartments all aligned,
But silence of walls and ones mind confound,
Without human company were are all in a bind,
Love is the biggest devastation to ones heart,
Hit by the bolts of blue, feelings and emotions collide,
Fired by the closeness and longing creates a new start,
Inevitably sometimes things falter and slide,
Trying to keep ones humanity in balance,
Crying or laughing out loud hysterically,
It`s like matching that quilt with the valance,
The noise is needed to prove that this is my reality,
So one claws from the depths of depressed life,
Fighting those closing walls of silent insanity,
This is why we put up with the trouble and strife,
Because we all need to belong to the family of Humanity.

About this poem:
Sometimes one dwells too much on what is going on around them and this can become an obstinacy in ones mind.

we need to be in relationship
whether with people, a person, family,
a tree, a bird, a sunrise or sunset,
and even, with our tears
