Panic Button

Where is everybody?

 

Panic Button

This world we live in is very very strange,

some things can be purchased for just pocket change,

others, not so easy, no matter how rich you are,

I'm not talking about a house, boat or a car

Seems some days, the woodwork is just full of friends,

the messages, the chats, almost no end,

and then all of sudden, no one is there,

it's like for some reason, there is no one to care

Did I do something wrong, was it something I said,

all of these questions, now filling my head,

am I too needy, do I lack inner strength,

is my nose too big, my hair the wrong length

Why should it matter, what's the big deal,

does anyone really, give a crap how I feel,

I'm just a pebble, in the sea of mankind,

plenty more like me, we're easy to find

Now my day will be lonely, just like my night,

out of mind from them all, cause I'm so out of sight,

fear fills my mind, I'm an attention glutton,

that's why I now, push this Panic Button

I like the quiet and peace sometime. I rarely get a quiet house. It seem with the internet and the invention of the computer. People seem to gather less. I miss the days of great gathering and long conversations. My favorite days in my life was the gathering of the writers and poets on the coastline for our weekly Poetry readings at the cafes. A excellent poem. I like the ending.

Don't hit the button! We are here listening ...
Sometimes i feel the same way.. I just have to remember people get busy..
But yes, i have felt this way.

The poem is really good .. just the right amount of rhyme.
But pushing the panic button is no good lol

Peace

No! Not yet! It's not that bad. Do we know what happens when the Panic Button is pushed? lol.

I think we can all relate to this feeling of loneliness. What did we do before the age of the internet? Go for a walk, go downtown, give our friends a call, or sit down and read a book... I suppose we are lucky to have the internet, full of so many people...much easier to find friends and people to share our interests with.

You also should remember youre not alone in this world, seems like it at times I know. But all we gotta do is reach out.
