Outside

By Omalleyjr

Outside as the sun rises,
I wake among many
I walk with many
I talk through many
I watch with many

Outside as mid day comes,
I work to many
I gather food for many
I bathe with many
I eat to many

Outside as the storm sets in,
I find cover in many
I lose hearing like many
I wait around many
I stand in fear as many

Outside as the sun sets,
I sleep as many
I dream in many
I see nothing like many
I die like many
