"Different"
It is true you and i are different
We do not have the same outlook on life
We do not have the same habits or speak alike
And we do not have the same wishes
But here we are in this moment in time
Meeting at the same crossroad in life
Equal in our frailty and doubt
Simply hoping to figure things out
In this feeling you are my brother
In this struggle you are my sister
Your pain reflects mine
And this empathy is our wisdom
Until this very moment
You were a stranger to me
Another one in the crowd i did not see
A passing glance i did not perceive
But in this moment of vulnerability
Polar opposites meet
As if life is trying to reflect us
We are not as different as we think
Individuality aside
You and i have the same life
United or divided we stand
Not so different after all.
