Alike

you don't see what i see
you don't hear what i hear 
you are not me 
I'm not you 
I have no clue why
but I think we are alike
just you and I 
we like the same things
we like to sing
we like to hide
we say sorry all the time
we help others
without pay
we draw and write poetry
but we have things we hate too
we hate jerks
hate to hate
hate to be alone
hate people who judge to soon 
but we have each other
we think alike in many ways
so much to say 
but we keep our mouths shut
hide to keep safe
try to find a quiet place
oh yes, very alike
what a funny sight
a girl laughing to herself
and hiding under a tree
but they don't see you
and how much we are..
truly alike
