I do but I do not


I do but I don not

I speak but I don’t speak

I talk but you don’t listen

I need but you are not there

I think but I’m not thinking

I see what you don’t see

I hear but I’m not listening

I’m here but I’m not here

I’m known but I’m Unknown

I love but you don’t get it

I hate but not hatred

I give but you don’t get

I say what I don’t say

I live but not alive

I breathe but I’m struggling

I walk but without walking

I touch but I don’t feel

I understand but you misunderstand me

I stand but I’m falling
