LOVING INDIVIDUALS

everyone must be someone
each one of us alone
each day must be a new day
each day be made our own

everyone must love someone
each love that one alone
each love must be a true love
each love be made our own

we are what we make of us
we are what we desire
we all carry our own baggage
as we aproach the fire

the fire it rages all the time
so large it can't be seen
the burns we feel have numbed us to
the pain that has always been
