We Are [Revamped]

Thanks, naturally, to Special. Wonderful poem. I wanted to slam it because I've been trying to write it for a while now... If there are mistakes, it's because this was the first time I'd ever spoken these words. One rather obvious one is when my brain told me to say 'the terms' and my body rebelled. Good thing, too - the the is not in there.

Nouns
People, places, things
We are not
We mean actions, movements
What we are is verbs
In an
Unspoken tense.

I am
You are
He is
She is
They are
We are
We are

Nouns,
No, that makes no sense
I am not somewhere you can go
Something you can pick up
Hold.
We are
Written, we are spoken, thought
I am
You are
We are defined by the things we do.

It is physically impossible, a contradiction of
Terms, for us to be anything
But who we are.
There’s no pretending.
We are simple, basic
We can be conjugated
Untangled
Found.
So don’t call me a
Wannabe; I’m not faking
Don’t tell me to stop trying
To be somebody else.
It’s impossible.
I am me
We are
Hoping, tasting,
Trying. We are coasting.
I am crying, chasing, fighting
You are, raining, running, waiting.
I am tossing; turning,
You are trying
We are dancing.

Nouns.
We are not
Things, we do not fit
We do not have subjects;
Articles
(Definite or indefinite).
We are scribbling, frantically.
We are leaping, bounds, taking chances,
We exist in moments, movements, noises.
I am changing
You are falling
We are
Living.

We are not
Nouns.
