How can I be so despairing
When you are so full of joy
How can I be so laser-like

And you so passively content
How can I bleed my sorrows
And you hide your accomplishments


Why must I wallow in the mire
While you fly above it all

I struggle with a word of truth

But you would wither if a lie passed your teeth

How can I be me and you be you

It is the union that makes us whole

Separately in control of each other
