We watch our friends find love.
In a field or classroom,
Whilst we sit in our chairs
And watch the happiness of others.
We watch our parents laugh.
At the dinner table,
Whilst we stare at our plate
Wanting the affection of another.
We watch strangers embrace.
In the dim lit street,
Whilst we hide in our rooms
Isolating from the danger of others.
We watch our siblings happy.
With their normality,
Whilst we stare in the mirror
Wondering what is wrong with us.
