U(you)S
May 2, 2019
It is us who cry in the dark
It is you who smiles from afar
It is us whose tongues turn into
Leather, just for a droplet of water
It is you who leaves their tap open
In the morning and also at night.
It is us who bleeds for success. It is you
Who sits in their father’s business chairs
It is us who climbs the tree branch by branch
Just so we can see, the view from above;
But it is you sitting in your tree house
Watching us without caring from above.
In the end of life, it is us who looks in the
Mirror and sees you on the opposite side.

In this poem I wanted show the readers how we betray our ownselves by not taking care of eachother. And slowly we are forgetting about our surroundings and the rest of the world.
