How's life going?

I ask this question to anyone and everyone.

Most people look at me like a have 453,786 heads,

Because who says, How’s life going?

Sometimes,

You just need somebody to ask how you’re doing,

And sometimes,

If you ask in a funny way,

They’ll tell you.

I also say, have a good tomorrow!

Half the time, people don’t notice,

And other times, 

They’ll look at me like I’m crazy,

Or they’ll laugh.

And that’s my goal.

I want people to question me,

Or to look at me funny.

Because that means they aren’t ready to let go.

Not just yet.

Because sometimes they meet people like me.

Who say random things,

And

Make random faces,

Just to make their day better.

So, how’s life going?

    Am I wrong 

    for thinking certain things?

    Am i wrong for thinking

    that sometimes 

    the ground beneath me is steady

    even as it cracks?

  • Either or

    A gentle flicker, a sudden flare.

    It is a beautiful dance of heat and light,
    the most quintessential expression of raw energy.

  • Not very good

    I'm not very good at empathy.

    I can't read the room and feel what nobody has spoken of.

    I can see when somebody is sad,

    but it's not like I can feel it.

    Of course, I can try.
