Isn't It Lonely? by Aida Guo (16, North Carolina)

Isn't it lonely?
Watching the people pass by

As they sing
As they cry
As they laugh
And they die.

---

Isn't it lonely--
Watching the birds sing their songs?
Hearing the trees as they sway along?
Isn't it lonely--
Seeing the moon cuddling the stars?
Imagining the world from a place so far?
Isn't it lonely--
Watching the people pass by?
Knowing the world will always be too shy?

Isn't it lonely?
