One

One

How do I explain my inconsistencies 
to the random observer
weaving in and out of my existence
 Should I even worry 
or bother explaining? 

Perhaps not...,

although in this lifetime, 

worry is second nature to me. 

I long for you to see through, and into me...

When I look at you, 

I see beyond the physical body. 

We are all so much more than what we present to the world. 

I have gained a great deal of compassion through suffering. 

I'm not here to compare your pain to mine. 

I  see your sorrow. 

I acknowledge your pain. 

I  feel your soul...

We are one.
