there is me, and my
you, and I
future, present, past
names, that can never last
imagination, and truth
then age overcomes youth
memories of a city
or dreams of a new life, free
hurt, healing, a scar
the fear from childhood is never far
birth and the unwanted journey
identities beyond that we see
and these, the stories we tell
to ourselves, re-writing hell
