Waking up to nothing

I woke up to solitude,


but I am not lonely.

I woke up to hunger,

but I have food to eat.

I woke up to green trees,

and birds singing just outside my window.

I woke up feeling naked,

but there's a roof above my head.

I woke up to friends, phone calls

and endless activities.

I woke up to music, art

and story books.

I woke up to freedom and peace,

but I couldn't help wonder

about the ones who woke up to nothing.
