Each one of us – you and me and even us all;
we walk and we run and sometimes we crawl
We laugh and shout and we love and we hate;
so many feelings, yet our ego is a great wall
Read more: You and Me – Us and Them
Each one of us hides within, a giant black hole;
hungry enough to swallow the whole human soul
This is the heaviest burden that we must carry;
life is the theatre and it is our abhorrent role
Each one of us floats along a dark river of pain;
winding through the valleys of loss and of gain
This is our longest journey from birth till our death;
this is our miserable life – grey and filled with rain
Each one of us is addicted to the morphine of pleasure;
the sudden rush surging – no limit and no measure
This is our downfall and our biggest dilemma;
regret is the poison, there is no hidden treasure
Each one of us is different, each one of us is the same;
yet we hate each other, we fight for name and fame
This is why we fail to grow, this is why we lose;
admitting weaknesses, a prospect filled with shame
All of us are one, yet we choose to tread alone;
becoming rabid dogs when life throws us a bone
This is the grand sin; this is why we always fail;
we fail to hold hands, we always act for our own
