The Difference Between You and I

You are so different from I,
We face different challenges every day,
One so free and one so caged,
Wait- which one's which anyway?

You are just the same as I,
We both fight for we believe in,
One by choice and one by duty,
Even so- we will never truly win.

You are working on saving I,
We try to keeping going on,
One forever and one for now,
Until- everyone is so far gone.
