Just Like Me

Fear wears a face like mine

Simple lines, dark eyes and hair

An uneasy reflection to some

For me, I can’t help but be moved by the sight

The tears and screams

Coming from my own eyes and mouth

I see we wear the same misery

So fear I listen to her

Against my other judgements

It’s hard not to listen to somebody

Who looks just like you
