You and I

We’re of the same kind

      Both seeing more than meets the eye

And it’s this insight

  that ties us tight

     Me and You, You and I



Both of us

  Daring

  Caring

  Giving

  Living

       for others,

    (and for our own goals)

        rejecting ourselves

     (and indulging in ourselves.)

  Living, breathing contradictions

  That refuse to change

   (But do so anyway.)



So the question we end up asking ourselves

Day after day

Is “what do I do,

knowing what I know

feeling as I feel,

how do I create the me

that I see

fit to be?”

The answer is:

We don’t.

We go with the wind

and our emotions.

We do our best to make the world better,

Poor souls living in a destitute world.
