You Are You


When you see them,

you don’t really see them.

You cannot feel their struggles.

You cannot live their triumphs.

You can only simply observe.

You can live your own,

and allow them to watch;

but when you try to live their life,

everyone loses sight of you.

You,

you are what makes you.

They,

they are what makes them.

Learn to carve your own path.

Walk your own two moons.

Learn to overcome adversity.

Educate yourself,

In yourself.
