I sit and look out

“I Sit and Look Out” A Walt Whitman Copy Change I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame; I hear the hidden secrets between friends, threatening to create havoc; I see the suffocating sorrows of young people, trying to find ways to cope; I see the standards of society, changing each person in terrible ways; I mark the feeling of nostalgia and it’s never ending fight for attention; I see the fight of all people for a sense of feeling and confidence; I observe the thoughts inside many minds, sitting quietly without acknowledgement; I observe the lost souls and paths untaken by those lost in population; All these – All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon, see, hear, and am silent.
