Being Me, Being You

Robert Haigh

Being me is something you don't really see,
Just as
Being you is something I could never do.

~*~

We are all different bottles lined up on the wall.
In time
We'll fall, when we receive that predetermined call.

~*~

Meanwhile, I'll be me and you'll be you,
Because
There's really nothing else that we can do!
