The Right Words to Say

Searching for the right words to say...

Settling for a simple, "How was your day?".

Something superficial offering no real direction,

Ravenous for a deeper connection.

 

Small talk about the weather,

Hyperaware of the lack of interests shared together.

"How's work? How has your family been?"

The veil of reality getting painfully thin.

 

What's the point of searching for the right words to say?

Does anyone actually care about the quality of your day?

In a world so vast yet painfully small,

We exist simultaneously, but no one cares at all.

Small acknowledgements are a big deal. I find that when you are willing to be open and honest, like you have done in your poem, it makes it easier for people to relate to you and actually care.

Well, dark at heart.
I'm someone who, being worried about a friend, have made such inquiries, and as a result, a change for the better in that person's life occurred.
I've also been on the receiving end of such inquiries, and I can assure you that they do mean an awful lot, and that many people do care so much.
Best wishes.
