I look out and I see children playing
Cars pass
People walking
Plans of their own
Their own story to tell
Each and every person we see,
In the street, in their cars, running, on a bike,
Has a story just as complex as any of ours,
Full of pain, loss, emotion,
Family, heartbreak, and grief
Our best of friends and lovers have their stories
Along with our worst enemies
Everyone you interact with
The cashier at the grocery store
Thinking and worrying just as you are
To keep yourself unique
Don't lose your spirit
Be yourself to the best of your ability
Because everyone else already exists
The contribution you can make to this world is completely unique
To you and only you
