there are
impossible people
to get to know.
Some, are locked down
like the dead,
unable to talk.
Others, can’t stop talking
higher than kites
flying in unfriendly skies.
Some, are down to earth
watching the grass grow
content, just to keep watching.
Others, can’t see themselves
or don’t want to
while everyone
is watching.
the loud like the loud
the quiet like the quiet
opposites attract
because there’s a difference
but their relationship
is often
negative.
Why can’t we understand people?
It’s so difficult to get inside
7 billion
on the planet
and all we think of
is ourselves.
Am I too fat
or thin
am I…I…I… interesting
ENOUGH
Am I right
or wrong
or just right
Do they think like me?
Which way is the wind blowing?
Why can’t I be me?
Why do I tell someone what they want to hear?
Why do I lose in the relationship?
why…why…why…???
Connection
is the key
and unlocking people
is the great mystery.
