Who can share the burden of humanity
But who can bear it alone

Who would relinquish their joys and their griefs
                                  their precious selves
                                  their fragile, trembling souls
To any who must validate,
                           evaluate,
                           freeze and examine
                                                        in the air between their eyes
                                                        in the worlds between their minds

But who would starve their thoughts
                  and dry their empathy
                  and treasure the unknown dust
                                                                 of thoughts that could have lit
                                                                         another's world
                                                                and griefs they might've shared.

Who will share myself with me
Will I walk alone
