Behind The Scenes

Between me and you

Or him her or they

There is always a gap

That gets in the way.

A discord between

What we see think or do

And what people outside

Are convinced of as true.

Between who I am and

Who I want to be

Between my green and yours

Her pain, his empathy.

The words you read here

Are my shout ‘cross that space

And serve to remind

That we all run this race.
