One in the Same


I am one

with dreams 

wishes and desires

but I am not the only one

we all have aspirations we want to reach 

we want to reach nirvana 

the place we are most comfortable in 

the place we are guided to be in 

but what makes you different from I 

the color of your skin 

the sound of your voice 

the slightest freckles on the apple of your checks

maybe those things 

but you are still a person 

a person just like I 

with an open minds 

and an open heart 

a heart that should acceot everyone for who they are 

and for who they want to become 

a mind that is willing to be filled everyday with new teachings

and with new prespectives 

we are all one in the same 

maybe our appearances are different 

but that shouldn't matter 

apperances can fade away 

dreams live on 

one day I will reach my dream 

it might take a life time 

but no matter how long it takes 

I will get there 

and so will you 

because we are one in the same .
