I Am You

I am you... Because I am what you force me to be. I am you... Because we are brothers of mankind. I am you... But why am I not free to do as you do? I am you... And yet you treat me with so little concern. I am you... Why don’t you respect me as yourself? I am you... Yet I express your thoughts, not mine. I am you... What can I do inside of you? Why won’t you let me out? I am you... I live in your form, by your rules, All I want is to be myself! I am you... Yet you give me no room to grow. I am you... I am influenced by everything you do. I am you... I am your unheeded conscience. I am you... Why must you be so inhibited? I am you... Why can’t we be friends again? I am you... But somehow you seem to forget. I am you... Because you’re to busy to care – I die. If I am you... Then why are we not the same? Look – If I am you... One of us needs to change – Because I am You!
