The Bird in the Birdcage

You have no idea
What it is like
To be me
Likewise,
I have no idea
What it is like
To be you

I am tethered inside my own, clustered mind
And I am afraid that if I ever were to leave
I would not find my way back
Into this clustered mind of mine

Maybe you feel the same
Or maybe you feel comfortable where you are
In your mind
Perhaps you are not tethered to yours
Perhaps it is not clustered
In which case, I wish I could be you
To know what it is like
To be where you are
Inside your free mind
As I have never been to such a place
Or perhaps
You do not wish
To let my clustered mind in
As yours is perfectly comfortable
Whilst mine is not

But I will never know
In fact
I have no idea
What it is like
To be you
Likewise,
You have no idea
What it is like
To be me
