i am you, you are me, unique

i am you, you are me, unique

A Poem by RuseInex

i am you and you are me,
though i may never have met you,
i know you,

i feel your thoughts
though you may not believe in telepathy,
you know my thoughts too,
though i think and live in private

i can read your thoughts and you mine at times
if i can spend enough time with you,

i am you, i am me
you are as much me as i think you are,
if i hurt you i hurt myself
if i help you,
i help myself and everybody else
my emotions reveal who i am,
because at times of stress or fun
i wear them on my sleeve,
i have seen enough of us
in movies, media, history and all of real life,
in all i know of work and play
enough to know that we are we indeed
i know your likes and dislikes and you know mine
there aren't many possibilities outside this place and time
including providence divine

the songs we hear, some we like and don't,
salt today, sugar tomorrow
our tastes come and go
'cause they're likes and dislikes
like foods and songs
we eat and hear
made by people just like us

when i look into your eyes i see me
our eyes see and feel just the same
with two simple possibilities,
love or hate, or a bit in between,
countless outcomes of response
whether hate or love all things apply,
even a bit of in between

I'm aware of conscience
i think therefore i am,
i am awake,
i have facts in my head
i feel pain and pleasure,
no different than you,
i get hungry, so do you
i sleep and rise, work and play
to satisfy my every need
if i can't, i search for more
until i find
if i don't
i move on and seek
if i don't, i either live to fall or rise,
may rise or fall again then move
stay still,
or not at all
for a season,
in and out of season
living, dying, or on the brink
hard and soft
cold and hot
living day by day
fears and hopes with or without
wondering, learning,
gathering, storing
all my senses seasoned with the mediocre or the heights
flesh and blood,
soul and spirit
rising from the earthly pull
to celestial planes of God and Love,
or back into the mud

invention and technology bring change,
yet we'll always remain inexoribly the same
things as such can never separate us,
we're all of genome's gene, common blood

i may be in a different time zone,
a different plane, state of mind perhaps than you,
another frame's existence,
other rules, tools or choice of will,
i'm just a person,
though i am in God's eyes unique
just like everybody else who has ever lived
'm all of human thoughts that have ever been
and ever shall be, part of the human race
I'm me who wants to live eternally
probably just like you
