Monologue

To the world

We have only one sky which is illuminated by the lights
We are separated by steps which are counted as years
It seems we're together, but we aren't near
We have one aim with  unique perspectives

I see the fireworks, but it feels like I see the planets
The planets are beautiful if nothing is forbidden
Like a Little Prince I'm living in a naive way
You have only one hour, how will you spend it?
Passively?

I'm trying to find myself while I don't know how to be
Who I want to be with, who I want to leave
Who I was before, and who I am right now
I envy those people who are still  children in their hearts

I'm screaming quietly to myself
I'm cutting my veins mentally
Our thoughts are well-considered, that's why they are senseless
I forget that the world doesn't stay in one place
I'm not the one, there are billions of us,
and this fact is well-known

A very deep and wonderful poem you wrote Alisa. You came back with great words. Internal struggles lead to revelations that will change you. Go with it and don't fight it or try too hard to understand it.
