I wonder if they knew
When I was sitting there all conversational
Sharing, laughing, remembering, being curious
That I was sitting there alone
In a world I didn’t understand
Doing my best to show up real … and I was real
I just wasn’t all the way real
The real that came so easily before
… And before is a million miles away
And barely in my body as I sit there
So grateful for companionship
And feeling more alone than I or anyone can comprehend
Because it doesn’t make sense
I look fine
But I’m not
And no one wants to hear this
Not even me.
