The Watcher

Do you ever feel above it all?

Staring down at the people,

watching them laugh and play.

Distanced.

 

You are just like them,

Only different too.

 

Your mind has been buried for so long,

A burden fills your heart.

And so even though you laugh and play,

It isn’t the same.

 

You are just like them,

Only different too.

 

Maybe that’s the problem;

No one ever gets too close.

You pretend because it is just too hard to stop hiding,

Your problems are invisible.

 

You are just like them,

Only different too.

 

And so you stand above them all

watching, and wishing

that one day, maybe,

that could be you.
