I do not know which Emma

this is for

So if your name is Emma

then it is yours--

When one sits alone in a room

Wen other people are laughing

Neither with you nor at you

You are not alone.

When you walk along,

a crowded hall, lonesome among others, 

And your bodies are one mass, frozen in time

You cannot advance

When you do something wrong

to the one person

who is there foor you

you cannot redo

You are not alone

when no one sees you

and you cannot advance

when people surround you

but you cannot redo

when you make

a mistake
