Alone Together

There are gaps and walls between us,

Yet we're close because we care,

And the distance is diminished,

For there's one enemy we share.

You know your friends all have their struggles,

So you try to hide each tear,

But there's no use holding back;

It can unite us too, our fear.

We are alone but still together,

Each one faced with the unknown,

And our friends we must rely on

As news chills us to the bone.

It's our actions that define us-

Our thoughts, our will, our ways.

We are all in this together.

Soon there will be better days.
