Only connect (Letter to a young solipsist)

The only connection made by a solipsist is with themselves. Written in a loose Ottava Rima style

You think that life is full of ghosts,
 And you alone are made of flesh?
I've news for you, they're not just hosts
 These folks in life that you have met.
They feel and bleed and cry and toast
 They're not just glass, don't just reflect.
And so you see the truth my friend
Accept that others exist,
 Or end.

sometimes we are oblivious to others...only thinking of ourselves...I like the metaphorical way you present this....short and sweet.

Thank you jacob, it was written as a kind of reminder to be aware of others and their feelings, glad you liked it :)
