I Am You

This is for all the men and women who hate me because they think I am not them.


They are men
And they are women
Both so alone
And yet so far apart
Sitting in their locked up lives
Saddened by emptiness
Not wishing to give in to hopelessness
Gazing out the window across the expanse
At the others greener grass
Their wishes are no different
From yours or mine
Hoping to turn a dream
Into reality
Knowing there must be love
Somewhere
Beside that secret place
Inside their head
Wishing with all their might
To just know the sweet expression of love
You know these people
You have loved them
And hated them
They have spit on you
And kicked you
But you, are better than that
So you forgive them, always
Offering them your shoulder to cry on
Opening your hearts so they can relate
You console and give gentle guidance
Even when it hurts to do so
You forget yourself
So that they could be themselves
Are they pathetic
Or are you
For you are we
We are you
You are them
They are me
I know the heart of the lonely
For I am you

You have seen into a world some of us try to describe in our work. I can only wish to see more through you, us.

Hmmm
I actually doubt that there is someone who can forgive and still love those who kicked him and spit on him.
Very well written though

lots of hurt and anger projecting from this really well written expression of how we sacrifce ourselves to suffice others...

i doubt you really feel this way yourself sara so i will comment that this is a strong piece that takes narcisissim to the next level

dark poetry can be very liberating as it delivers blows
ordinarily never entertained

thanks,
donna.
