Me Or You

Each day and hour
I see what others and you do
By minute and second
I try and copy them too

Not by myself
Nor what I do
Am I me?
Or am I you?

To just fit in
Or be accepted
It's all better than hated
Or to be rejected

Simple as that
To mimic and insue
But to make me me?
Or to make me you?

Pressure from despite
Pressure from Love
Pressure to be like them
Not to be hated nor loved

To heir their ways
And the best of the new
But to build boundaries for me?
Or build boundaries from you?

As clear as it may be
Or as obvious it may seem
My mind is MINE
And NOT to be obleemed

What man has my heart and soul
To bring me down to do
The things that aren't of me
But the things that are of you?!
