We are waves
Reflections
Energy
And we are
Mirrors
And we are
The myriad tiny fragments of one another
The copied mannerisms
Of our environment
The clichés of our culture
The punchline of every
Joke and funny commercial
And nowadays
Also the meme
We are the heartbroken
Surgeon in our favourite drama
The courageous
Champion of our favourite action movie
The doting
Father we saw in the face
Of a favourite uncle
The proud, strong and independent
Woman like your grandmother
Once was
We are because we all are
