Kindness

So we all talk.

And it’s all a little less dreary.

It’s as if they’re smiling more.

It’s as if they’re smiling at me.

And even starting to care.

Asking if I’m doing ok.

Asking where I went last night, as if I remember.

Asking why I’m doing weird little things.

My family and friends, they are now compassionate towards me.

We all have each other now.

I am a part of the circle of each otherness.

It’s like- everyone I ever knew,

Is new to me.
