Rockin Poet's blog: ""Just Like You" (poem)"

"JUST LIKE YOU"

I can see the secrets

That you hide behind your eyes

I can see the sadness

That you bury deep inside

I can touch your heart

As it crumbles into dust

I can touch your soul

As they all betray your trust

I can feel your shame

As you tell your desperate lies

I can feel your pain

As your courage slowly dies

I can taste your anger

As you rage against the dark

I can taste your sorrow

When your struggle leaves no mark

I can understand

All that you are going through

I can understand

Because I'm just. . .like . . .you
