Lonely

Do you ever become

So filled with wonder

That you can't sit still?

So amazed

With the world

With physics

And chemistry

And biology

That you are filled with joy?

That you have to walk around

And laugh out loud

And think, 'what an amazing world this is?'

And in that moment

Just be overwhelmed

By how awesome

It is

That everything

Fits together

So perfectly.

And you are so amazed

So excited

You have to tell someone.

I do.

When I try to tell my sister

She walks away

Even as I'm speaking

When I try to tell my mother

She says, "that's nice"

Without looking up

From her phone.

When I try to tell my father

He is too busy

With work

To listen.

Where did I go wrong?
