earthquake

Earthquake
Underneath me-
All around me
And within me.

But why is everyone else
Standing still?
I didn't know
That no one else could feel.

Did you even know
The earth was shaking?
I didn't think
You were so far away.

The ground is splitting,
Things are breaking.
Sometimes change
Comes with an aching.

And I don't know much
About tectonic plates,
But I wish that some things
Didn't have to change.

And I wish it wasn't
So hard to reveal.
Rainstorms are easy to see,
But earthquakes you have to feel.
