We Are Never Alone

Hello. I’m not quite sure how to do this. You see, I’ve been alone For most of life. Walked alone. Talked alone. Listened alone. But, This isn’t working. I'm sorry. Let me start over. Hi. I’ve been learning For a long time now. I’ve been taught to do many things. I can curve my lips, To make a smile. They say I should do that. It helps, they tell me. But I still walk alone. I watch alone. I wonder alone. But, For some reason, I still can’t get it right. Let me try one more time. … I’ve grown up now. I put my smile on every day. I make sure it tilts just right. Yet, It seems that... I am still alone. But in my mind, They are wrong. Because I am not. I may walk alone, Watch alone, But I refuse to believe them. Inside our minds, Everyone is alone. But we are alone together. I hope they notice they’re lonely too.
