Alone

Does it happen to you
When you are alone in a crowd
There is someone you see
and you are afraid (and hope)
its me?

It happens to me.

And I don't know if I miss you
or I just miss
someone to talk to.

Challenge

Why do you tell me your theories, your ideas, your philosophies?
Doesn't it occur to you they mean nothing to me?

Why these structured ways and lines of thought?
I am not a company.

Why these scientific, logical arguments?
I am not a machine.

I can feel.

The only way you might change me is by listening to me and telling me honestly and simply how you feel.

Can you?

Dreams?

I went after worldly ambitions
and forgot my dreams,
(today I have no dreams)
Because I was seeking the approval of those
close to me.

Afraid

I don't want to come into your private space
because I am afraid
I will be asked to leave.

Complexity...

..arrives when the simple is suppressed.
