life’s a little different now
or maybe now this part of life is more exposed
due to fear of being alone
chatter starts and dies down
continuously
a need for sound
how lucky we are to have each other around
we yell and we fight
and we pick on our flaws
placing stereotypes
but truth is
if it were only you and i
would you prefer it if i were here
or would you prefer it if i died?
would you prefer to hate me because i look different to you
or appreciate that i am alive
we are connected
you have a friend in me
someone to confide in
community of minds alike
i’ll still like you if we’re not alike
we are just two people
multiplied
we are all just people
trying to find a way to stay alive
the way you feel
is similar to how i live inside my mind
so why fight?
we’re not so different you and i
