How would it feel, to live in a world of strangers?
With no loved ones, no friends, no parents,
Not a single known face on the entire face of earth
You on your own, with no one to look after
No one who belongs to you, or whom you belong to,
No one to run into, and no one to talk to.
How would it feel, if every person you knew,
Just disappeared from your life,
Every single person you loved, is lost or gone,
Nobody to call, nobody to e-mail or chat,
Every person you think of, is long gone from your world,
Leaving you with moments, making you crave for their presence,
Every person you used to hang out with,
Is lost somewhere and you will never know where.
Will it be maddening or will it be pleasing,
To live in a world of unknown faces,
Will it be peaceful or will it be restless,
To be self-sufficient and independent
Not able to share our joy and sorrow,
Living with one’s own needs and wants.
Or is it how we start a new life,
We come into this world, not knowing anyone,
And yet find people smiling at us,
Welcoming us into their world,
Sharing whatever they got,
And that’s how we start a new life,
Irrespective of whether we have known faces or not,
We are always ready to befriend unknown faces,
Willing to explore what waits behind a smile,
And that’s what keeps us all going.
