To suffer;
unequal, it is that of an hoard which knew my dues-- and savaged ways
for it is same of every man and woman,
Speaking from not just lips but from the breast  into
every inch of being.

Thou have loved the climates of the inner soul
the changing of our seasons from tears, to a smile
and a consenting silence, this is where you will
find me most lost to you yet I, found in the self.

How it is to pause from breath-- were it life to breathe
I have in seconds experienced death,
and found the utmost boundaries between the two
a yearning desire-- for once I have died I seek to live
as alive I hold my expressions of death.

Tendering to the knowledge "we are all the same"
some more outspoken in their thoughts than others,
beneath where only we hear the voice of self
I speak it out.

Magnificent!  The poem and the thoughts!  It seems to me you live every moment of your life whether in desolation or joy, something I understand so well - and you understand so well the paradox that we are all the same and all different!  I loved this for so many reasons, perhaps particularly the power of it.

I would be lying if I say my life is as similar to my words but i would say my mind is true to the words for my thoughts do linger and dance around those ideas but to infuse that in this world is harder than it seems for day to day life as a person is about the characters we take with us ever changing between them all for the scenes that we need to play out but my truth is always in my head where the true reality lies.

Thank you for your kind words.

My favorite lines RS. and I am enjoying reading your words and thoughts. I find them to be quite unique.
