Who’s out there that can help me?

The birds?
No.
The trees?
No.
The cats?
No.
The stars?
No.

Am I alone in this world?

I hear the chirps as they fly above me,
I listen to the swaying of their branches,
Their soft meows and purrs as they rub against me
Watching them twinkle and sparkle in the sky

Who’s out there that can help me?

My friends?
No.
My parents?
No.
My sisters?
No.
Myself?
No.

Am I even real in this world?

I smile and laugh watching them with ‘joy’
I nod my head and obey their commands
I chuckle and watch them twirl around
I stare in the mirror finding only shatters

And the question that haunts me night and day is. . .

Who’s out there that can help me?

and

Am I even real?

I don't have any suggestions but i felt like this line

I listen to the swaying of their branches,


could be changed to "I listen to their branches sway" for a smoother rhythm.but its my thoughts ok.

Chocolate Bar - Highlights of the Piece
I liked the whole thing the repetition and simple words choice all if i could rate this out of 10 i would easily give 9 i swear. Its so relatable dude. My favorite line is
