Alone together
Alone together I wanted to find out in what way the specialness of my experience could be made to connect me with other people instead of dividing me from them. —James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name Alone together started November th, 2020 We all at times feel alienated. Tell me about it, that thing that makes you feel so different and alone. I might understand or at least I can listen and for a brief moment we can be alone together. Have you been a stranger in the only home you ever knew? I have. Do you feel anger shame fear all the time? I do. Have you silently screamed for fear if you let the sound loose you and your world would shatter? I have. Did you find your people on a psych ward and know it was the only time you would be surrounded those like you? I did. Have you ever felt so uniquely formed you are sure others wouldn't recognize you as human? I have. Do you fall in love with words shaping them into poems to show yourself and others that silence is not the only option? I do. Hear my words find yourself in them find your own words and for a brief moment we can be alone together. |

It feels like I have held this poem for so long. Waiting for it to feel finished. It feels too personal. Too revealing. Too many things missing from it. Too presumptuous of me.

That’s the beauty of writing. That others can find a connection or solace with another’s views and talents. The most important thing is how do you feel after exposing certain truths? It matters little what we the reader attune to if the author doesn’t experience some form of catharsis. My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment
