What do I know
about the universe?
I'm only one
lost in a sea of people
On a planet
lost in a sea of stars
that goes on forever and ever
(Maybe)

What do I know
about the world?
I've never been to the other side
or even to the next country
I know it's round,
green and blue and white
and beautiful
(Perhaps)

What do I know
about people?
I've only walked in my own shoes
I only know my own skin
but I know people feel
And think
and dream
and love
and hate
(I hope I'm not alone)

What do I know
about hate?
It kills.
burns like fire
but leaves nothing to grow in its wake
(Because I've known it)

What do I know
about love?
It's real.
(Because I've known it)
Sometimes the most real things in life are the things we can only feel, not see...

Very well put :) I like the feeling that this work gives off and the manner of writing. It seems you haven't submitted much recently. I hope you do so. The last two portions were quite well written and the ending itself was satisfying.
