Have you ever been friendless?

I don't mean the world is your enemy. I just mean that you don't know anyone. And you wish you did, but you don't know how, or why, or who. Sort of like you're in another world. Not a better one, but not a worse one either, but nonetheless, there is an indescribably solid barrier between you and everyone else. And you want to get over it, but you don't know how, and you're not sure it's worth the effort anyway.

Have you ever felt empty?

Not like your heart was twisted in half. Like there's just nothing inside, except you're not positive, because you don't know, or don't remember, what being full feels like. Sort of, apathetic, I guess. You stopped to rest, and never got started again. Stuck. Out of gas. Just… there. A soda bottle without any soda left, or with no soda to begin with. Everyone else has a mission, a purpose, even if it's just to walk over there. Except you.

Have you ever felt hungry for something

Not for food. And not like you will die without it. But a deep, dull ache inside you, except you don't know why. In that non-existent place that's somewhere inside your heart, but outside your body. Hungry for something, but you haven't a clue what. Like the answer is there, and you know it's there, but you can't see it. And you don't know the question, anyway, so it wouldn't help.

Have you ever wanted to leave?

Not forever. And not for any particular reason. Just because there is nothing holding you down, and you want to see what leaving feels like. And then you find it's no different from staying put. You know how everyone wishes they could just get away from it all? No, you just want to know what "it all" is. Cause you're not really there. So when you leave, you don't get anywhere. Like a hamster in a wheel. Except at least the hamster can get off.
