Who You Are And Who I Am

who you are
depends on your choices day by day

moment by moment
and so too

as to who i am
depends on what i take and what i spit out
from my mouth

it is this responsibility of choosing
i make and unmake myself
i love and unlove
i assemble and disassemble
the parts of me until
i find myself whole again

you too, and then we,
we take the responsibility of taking the risks
of a commitment

something that we can say
this is worth living
and this is worth dying for
