‘Twas no stranger experience;
Than to meet myself:
A stranger
To learn of others, without seeing them…
But instead, seeing what I projected into the space they occupied
...Oh, what pain it is to see!
Guilt, Grief, ambiguous Trauma - the realization of never having met another -
Just myself, a stranger
The number of characters met which only embodied my reality •
Such loneliness
Now, having met myself - a stranger no more
Guilt, Grief, Trauma - ever present at my door
I find I meet you; again,
I see you, at last
all of the same pieces as me, struggling as I did
I wait for you to grow now
I pray for you to be a stranger no more
