Let Me Be Like You

Let me be like you,
Showing up everyday
Despite the blues.

Let me be like you,
Fighting the odds
Of roots and dew.

Let me be like you
Sharing the space
With old and new.

Let me be like you
Taking in the toxin
And giving life hues.

Let me be like you
Accepting and sewing
A melange of sinews.

Let me be like you
Quietly existing
But fully living too.
