Someone Like Me

Do you truly understand
what it’s like living the life at hand?

To live as though your mind was mist,
one you could not grasp with your fist,

to live with others on your mind,
yet only myself I could not find,

to live, expressing your heart to its best,
yet never feeling you could be at rest,

to live like one never touching the ground,
and whenever you did, it never made sound

to live like no one knew who you were,
and the life you lived was always a blur,

to live with never an end in mind,
and never ceasing to always be kind

to others, but never to honor my own,
to always find solace in being alone

To live like me is a wish come true,
yet one I’d not wish for someone like you
