Feel

Why do I feel? Why do I care?

I don't even know this boy.

Why am I sad for him?

Why am I crying?

My heart and prayers reach out to him, hopefully reaching their destination.

Is he okay, or is he still hurting?

Why am I hurting with him?

I text and he's "Okay."

Not good, not bad,

just somewhere in the middle.

It's nothing major,

nothing deadly,

so why do I care?

Because someone has to.
