Default Stranger only the devil – Arabic proverb

Thank you dear poet
Thank you dear Annelise

But yes!
it is strange that
I, who is so bad with words
Have now a mouth and a voice !!!!!!!!!!!

Is it not because I wear the mask of anonymity
I am finally free to uncover my naked sole
Without shame or fear?

and tell my story without décor or distortion
To my fellows in humanity and illness

How odd is it that
I who cherish my solitude
And who is repelled by the mediocre of social contact
find consolation in my fellows stories
As I hope they will find in mine

I have a true wish to meet them
And see their faces
And touch their hands
As they touched my heart

They are no strangers but true friends

But Is it because my true wish is impossible
That I love them truly and unconditionally?
