You Are Not Me



I am more than this
You are not me

It is wonderful, moving, comforting
Reliance is easy
Overreliance easier
Must remember, you are not me

Independence got lost
Oneness had its draw
Where am I?
My power is fading
You are not me

Balance is critical
Overindulgence dangerous
Health will return
You are not me

I love you
I love me
Power has returned
You are not me
