Someone Else

As one we have come to share our pain, as all esle we fight to survive such pain.

-Someone Else-
by Keaton Foster



I’ve seen her
I’ve known her
Should I be with her
Feeling her pain
I understand
Her shame
We
Her and I
Are the same
Two of a kind
In another time
Someone else
I’m well aware
I understand him
Burdensome
Is his pain
As well as mine
I suffer as he does
We
Him and I
Are the same
Two of a kind
In another time
Someone else
Dangerous
Is the game
Equal
In many ways
We stand against
Ourselves
And all else
We fit in no mold
Adhere to no rule
We are Godless Gods
Unto ourselves
Someone else
I’m standing here
All alone
By myself
Connecting to
And through
So many else
People like me
In tune
With such wounds
Sharing our afflictions
With these words
A lesson of sorts
To be live
By ourselves
And thus
Someone else…
