what is there to say,
when it’s all been said before?
maybe just that i am here,
in a new place, learning to navigate.
but dealing with similar struggles,
and with similar joys to celebrate.
we’re all different, it is true,
with our unique habits and notions.
yet, in the oldest cliche, alike,
experiencing the same emotions.
sometimes not sure how to respond,
other times knowing what comes next.
leaving us happy and content one moment,
at others sad, apologetic, vexed.
we all want and we all love,
we all stand out, we all diminish.
we all sacrifice, we all despise,
we all start and we all finish.
so what am i trying to say,
when it’s all been said before?
just that here i am, hobbling along,
my eyes forever on my aim.
encountering pain, elation, sorrow, bliss.
beside you, likewise, and the same.

Beautifully said….and just knowing that, although different in the details and circumstances, we all share in a commonality that is somehow comforting in just remembering that. Hugs.
yes, great comfort in that. thanks.
Beautiful writing. I agree with the last comment – Although we have different experience and unique traits, we all have something in common – we share the same emotions and want the same things – love, happiness and joy. Wish your new places bring you joy and happiness.
This is absolutely beautiful April!! And a sentiment I agree with.. If I have learned one thing in life is that people really are the same.. we do want the same things, and that fundamental need to love and be loved knows no race, religion or boundaries..
