"I know exactly what you feel" Really !!

Introspection on impact of Playback Theatre, how playback theatre actors journey is never ending. Humility , Openness is key to doing justice to a story

"I know exactly what you feel"

Is a universal lie

What is going in each head

Is quite different, that is why

Siblings raised together

Or even friends for many years

Cannot possibly perceive

Dynamics of the others tears

Psychological journey,

the unique DNA inside

What the eyes sees

What the brain puts aside

Slowly builds our subconscious,

Learns to override and decide

Slowly sculpts our ego,

and even the degree of our pride

Love and sorrow

Depression and joy

Trying to understand causation

Is impossible, O boy!

We fail to understand

even our own thoughts

We fail to appreciate

the emotions it has brought

So we can empathies to an extent,

sit together, laugh and cry

but to know "exactly" ,

Please!.... that is a lie
