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.

Hmmmmm. catharsis. I need to explore that word. For me, it feels amazing to be saying anything publicly. Even the worst poem is an achievement! But I do want them to have some purpose. Many are snapshots of where I am. Some are just fun to write, about trees and things. This one feels important. It isn't just a snapshot. I used to have a blog of my poems, 20 years ago, and I had a section called "Self Poems". This is one of those. I'm trying to find and express something central to me. Thank you for commenting, encouraging, and making me think. Hugs MrW.
