Apart

I sit apart.
In many ways
I find I do not fit
in the puzzle of
humanity.
I observe from a
different place
and empathize,
comprehend,
but do not identify.
I hold myself
when no one else
will hold me.
It is enough.
But the magnet of love
pulls, pulls, pulls,
and sometimes hurts.

  1. Powerful statements Susan. Every human has an individual uniqueness that allows us to identify with these words to some degree or another. In spite of our differences and separations, we do belong to each other and to God. I have always considered you a special person with a special spark of life. Let me know if you ever need a hug!
