I am Alone
I walk dully through an empty space
The world is an object.
There are people there,
But they mean nothing to me.
I have a funny thought,
And turn to share it,
But realizing that there's no one to share it with,
I retreat back into myself.
I say hi
And the empty space responds to me.
I know no one's name.
Once in awhile,
I reach out of the bubble
That separates me from
Every living thing
I am not well equipped to deal with living things
I cannot talk to them
Without misunderstanding
We speak two different languages
Always
"I heard you talking yesterday,
I thought you spoke english?
No?
oh...Ok, then..."
I draw attention to myself
Hoping my talents will make people like me
Only to push them back when it becomes personal
The word "I"
Is all I know
I can't seem to learn other words.
I can't seem to learn other ways.
But I'm a good person.
I am interesting.
I am talented.
I am compassionate.
I am not shy.
I am scared.
I am alone.
What are you?
