Here I stand, Statues

 

I see,

 

I watch.

 

I hear,

 

I listen.

 

I sniff,

 

I smell.

 

I stay,

 

I stand.

 

 

 

This is the life I live,

 

I do not move and I do not talk,

 

Yet I know more about this world

 

Than you could ever imagine.

 

 

 

I’ve seen heartbreak and despair,

 

I’ve seen love and rejoice.

 

But most of all I have seen you,

 

All of you walking by,

 

Living your busy lives,

 

Doing your busy things,

 

Never stopping to say hi.

 

 

 

It is okay,

 

I am not offended,

 

Although I would like to be noticed,

 

I am fine just being here,

 

Sitting,

 

Waiting,

 

Watching,

 

Wondering.
