Same Skin

You are not me  
Though  
We have the same skin  
The distance between us  
Goes much deeper  
 
Losing my identity  
In the label given  
It’s bigger  
Than the reality  
Clouds understanding  
 
You keep an eye on me  
That’s not enough  
When half-hearted  
It misses the point  
Of who I truly am  
 
Even in the spotlight  
It blinds the truth  
There’s more in the shadow  
Probe a little harder
You might find we are human  
 
After all….
