I Am You and You Are Me

Humans are selfish

And so petty

Can't they be genuine

Stop gossiping

Why oh why

Don't they understand?

Look at me...

Am different

So genuine n great

Holier than thou

Purest of pure

A cut above the rest

Is that true

Of course

Well almost...

Is it really true

Well…..

Get off my back

Stop asking me

Stop judging me

It's my life

Don't make me

Look within

B’yond this identity

I took years

To cultivate

Such a perfect one

Bit too perfect maybe

Oh crap...

It’s fragile too

Didn't even realize

It's a sand hill

Slightest wind

Takes it

Crashing down

I look around

Hoping nobody saw

And alas

I start again

Create yet another one

Believing this time

I'll be smarter

More perfect yet

New image for me

N blaming all

Can't you be happy

With who you are....

Why oh why

Are they stuck

In image

Look at me

I am

Not like them...

I am real

My image is real

So what

If I don't like

To see my fears

Nor the tears

Insecurities galore

Struggling to make

Me the best

Why don't I

Simply love myself

Just the way

I am

Why oh why

I can see

I am

Just like them

They and me

A splitting image

You and me

How different are we

How alike are we

I am you

And you are me....
