I go to work, come home, eat, sleep, and shit.
Wake up the next morning and repeat this process for days, which turns into months.
I just want to connect.

I’m in a world with 8 billion people, but I feel alone.
It’s like I’m dead, but my spirit is alive, and people can’t see me.
Walking around my community, I see people laughing, kissing, and breaking bread.
And I say to myself,
I just want to connect.

My spirit says to take a leap of faith and reach out,
but my body imprisons my spirit from moving.
I stare in admiration at these strangers,
but cry inside, knowing it’s easy to say hi,
yet my body denies.
I just want to connect.

God, help me to align my body and spirit in the best way you see fit.
