Us

if i must choose pronouns
i choose we us and our
so i may be with you
whoever you are
whatever we face
however we feel
wherever the place
we stand not alone but together as one
the world changes around us
it changes us too
it pulls us and twists us and ties us in knots
it turns us against us and darkens our thoughts until
we forget
we are always one
we fight kick yell spit
we angrily shun
we placed here together
we soul mates eternal
we cannot escape until
heaven infernal
here in our garden
together in strife
we the people
shackled to life
