I am sorry
Yet
I have to ask
Why?
What is it
that we NEED?
what is it we are looking for?
a sort of Sympathy?
some attempt at Understanding?
A poor soul to agree?
To say they know
exactly
the reason they came to be?
the reasons we are looking for
I know THAT there are none
we are simply
here
meant to be
cogito, ergo sum?
no we really do not
no one can ever know
where any one is coming from
or EVEN where we all will go

we all come from the same place
BUT
we arrive on different trains
many views
our own opinions
not a single one the same
always
looking for the mirror
someone to be like us
because we do not want to be alone
ALAS MY FRIEND
here comes the great big
~BUT~
we will always be that way
we are AND WILL ALWAYS BE ALONE

the day we are born
ALONE

even when together
ALONE

in a crowd
ALONE

when making love
ALONE

at the moment of death
ALONE

alone from the first until the last
alone in every breath

yet
always begging for unity
for the feeling
I belong
pleading for the place
we need
a sameness
somewhere called home
reaching out to touch
a thing that does not exist
so useless
such futility
face it
it does not exist
we are alone
all the time

THE FINAL WALL
CAN NOT BE BREACHED
FACE IT YOU WILL BE FINE
IT IS YOURS OR MINE
BUT NEVER OURS
NO ONE
CAN
GET INSIDE
ANOTHER
PERSON'S
MIND
