We Are Us



No one is coming to save us
No one will choose us or fuss
No one to validate us or discuss
It’s always been our job to do thus.

We must love ourselves so fiercely.
We must calm ourselves so wholly.
We have no choice but to be strong ourselves.
To fight  on selfless
To build us endless
And to be perishless
Because no one is coming to validate or save us.
And it’s only us who can do thus.

Often it’s better to be alone,
but it doesn’t  mean you will be lonely,
but  you will learn to enjoy own company.
Solitude can be heavenly.

People save good memories on pen drive,
and bad ones in the mind.
If we only change this around,
peace and happiness will be ours to find.

Often we have only us to rejoice ourselves
as do others who have to help themselves.
Because we are us, no one else to ease us,
it’s only us who can do thus ,
yes it’s just us, we are us.
