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
