Amidst

Eyes scanning
Room replete
With family
Friends and
Acquaintances
Yet realizing
Amidst it all
You're still alone

Rise and Fall

Each sunrise begins the day
Holding all the possibility
Of a rebirth and a beginning
Hope and positivity brimming
Each sunset ends the day
With a reliving of each moment
The wrongs and rights and decisions
Agonizing minute deliberations
Seconds and minutes and hours
Between mornings fire and
The brilliant glow of evening
Filled with attempts at life
