we aren't our dreams

 

we feel them see them touch them love them

 

let them become our lives our lies

 

set the pulse of our souls

 

let them hurt us

 

but we are not them

 

and we are not our bodies

 

though they feel us see us touch us love us

 

though we change them pierce them

 

fill them feed them

 

they are not us

 

but ours.

 

we are not theirs or them.

 

 

we are not our actions our smiles our friends our words our lies our writings our thoughts our pasts our pains our wishes our breaths our gods our memories our feelings our voices our schedules our jobs our opinions our orders our hardships our knowledge our music our widom our triumph our waking our cries our futures our hearts our religions our clothing our hunger our prejudice our skin our judgement our families our names our rules our punishment our parts our talents our struggles ourselves

 

 

we are our souls

 

we are our own

 

we are us.
