A World Apart
sharon
I close my eyes
and I can see
the fear in your eyes,
looking for answers
that I don't have.
I don't know why God
chose you
to live such a
difficult life.
Why you dream the
same dreams I do
laying huddled
in the city streets
and I, asleep in my bed.
I don't know why
our worlds
turned so different.
Your fears, real,
mine are shallow.
I close my eyes
knowing I will open them again tomorrow.
You simply
close your eyes.
