We all have pasts
We all have pain
We all have fears
We all have shame

Who are we to judge?
Who are we to cast stones?
Who are we to mock?
Who are we to disown?

We each have our own dreams
We each have our own stories
We each have our own scars
We each have our own glories

My pain is not worse than yours
Your pain is not worse than mine
My pain doesn't compare to yours
Your pain doesn't compare to mine

Everybody lives
Everybody diverts
Everybody dies
Everybody hurts

I agree with todski, less repetition would help the flow but very good philosophical look at how objectively subjective life is.

could probably

in my opinion lose the constant repeats

We all have pasts

We all have pain

We all have fears

We all have shame

would read better to me

We all have pasts,

pain,

fears,

shame,

etc through the stanzas, but keep the final two stanza as is for impact. plus the second to last flip flops between my/your so it needs to repeat to make sense
