Oddly Awake

I slept a while and then the bowels woke me. Massive expulsion of waste materials ensued, followed by cleansing without shower due to sub-60 degree air temperatures in the indoor atmosphere. Laying back down was insufficient to returning to sleep, therefore I sat back up and came here to release words while The Outer Limits plays in the background. Progressive improvement is noted in the television series. Watching an episode about androids, I am given to thinking about a world inhabited by both humans and androids and I sense I would be quite comfortable amidst androids, given the empirical evidence of my experience with humans.

what good are feelings with no one the share them?
what good are voices with no one to hear them?
feelings can create ones's personal song
one can enjoy singing one's own song
just because you are alone
you don't need to be a monotone

But it is still fair to ask...

when longing for a human touch
someone to hold your hand
when aching for another mind
someone who understands
when feeling like dying alone
in a life you don't share
because no one is close enough
because nobody cares

when no one knows you on the inside
who you really are
when no one looks deep into your eyes
to see your wishing star
when no one feels the same things you feel
it becomes challenging to know what is real
you start wondering why you are still alive
when it's to be alone, just to survive

what good are feelings with no one to share them?
what good are voices with no one to hear them?
when all you can do is sing your own song
and no one is ever singing along
or sharing theirs
nobody cares

you can still feel and write your song
one can enjoy singing one's own song
the loneliest number
it is no fun
to imagine being alone
when your song is done

it's hard to imagine
the thought weighs a ton
to be alone
when your song is done

Oddly awake, not much sleep, just had this feeling and it wouldn't keep, sometimes the loneliness, sometimes it's tough, sometimes just dreaming is not enough.
