Alone, Together
We look eye to eye but we do not see
We live in different realities
Our words fall
Without reaching the other
We try and try
But instead of understanding
Our voices raise
Our heart beats
Our pulse quickens
A sweat is broken
Palms tighten
We look eye to eye but we do not see
Blinded by perceptions and ideologies
We are not present
And do not know
How to belong to the ‘other’
So we remain
Alone, together
