Together Alone

Everywhere. People.

nowhere. me?

So many inhabit this world of mine. I see them laughing, dancing, playing.

I see that world, but I cannot escape into it.

I cannot sing its songs.

My eyes revel in this plane, my thoughts abound with how to make it mine.

through those lenses life teases me. It sits and sings and beckons me

fingers spread and arms outstretched, it calls to me.

How cruel this fate, that fickle fiend. who knows I cannot grasp back.

They are here all around me, enjoying the life I cannot have for my own mind says it's so.

My tired soul looks through windows of glass, won't someone shatter them and let me out?

I promise I would do my best I promise I would do my part.

Just like them. Everywhere. the people I aspire to

Just like me in their own glass worlds I cannot see through waiting for the cracks that let us free.

everywhere…nowhere…we are all doomed to be.
