Friend

A poem

Friend, from yesterday or is tomorrow
I cannot say
It is like I have known you forever
Yet I have never seen your face.

Friend, that I have never met
Your words remind me of myself
In so many ways.

A reflection of who I am
Or is it who I was or would be?
Again, I cannot tell
For your soliloquy takes many forms.

Sometimes you speak of change
Other times despair consumes.

So many colors
With different shades
You may seem confusing
But I can relate.

For I know, what it feels like
To be unsure of one’s identity
The different voices in your head
I understand the uncertainty in your words.

So friend, from a different place
I think you should know
You are not alone.
