am I truly alone 

or are you waiting for me, 

as I am waiting for you.

are you dreaming of everything 

and expecting nothing 

form the world,

like 

me?

are you putting on a brave face, 

while your insides burn like a forestfire, 

like 

me?

are you searching for the meaning

of your heart beating, 

and your own breathing.

like

me?

are you drowning at night, 

just to breathe fresh air in the mornings, 

like 

me?

or are you thriving? excited for what it is to come.

deluding yourself 

into believing that you actually matter

in the scheme of things

unlike 

me.
