Us.

Why do we have to be something else?
Why can't we be just us?

A mask, a persona, a label, a name
all of it slips sometime
why can't we be just us?

Fame, relationships, people all pass by
in an endless parade of fleeting clouds
finally it is just us

May the final exhale leave us in comfort
of a life lived in our own personal truth
all along it was only us.
