Alone in the dark night sky
Like me on the ground
You never share your joy or grief
Like me with companions around.

None speak to you
Or about you
You are just a non-existent solid mass
Just like me.

You have everyone yet no one
Just like me.
You want anyone and everyone
Just like me.

You twinkle along the dark sky of no hope
But pretend to be happy and spread hope
I do the same to provide others with joy
You're so just like me.

I swallow my sadness
So do you
I swallow my feelings
So do you
Why are we so alike?

Many tease you for some reason or other
Just like me
Yet you suffer inside and smile as you never heard it
You're so just like me.

I've reached all the dead ends
There's a silver lining I am looking for
O God! Just say
Why are we so alike?
