strangers
in me, in you, in all of them
the people we know and never can
get in
wrap our head around
cause in truth we’re all alone and mad
strangers
that we feel so dearly about
that we give ourselves a right to pout
to, chat
step in their life’s wisdom’s walk
even if it’s an empty, irrelevant talk
strangers
to you, to me, all of us, strange
unknown in the light of today’s change
so, although
you cannot see
my complex lil’ tree
isn’t so strong
how can we make the other
feel the me
