I wrote this in my head in the hallway after lunch.
I think it sounded better there. In my head.
--
I am dead
I am alive
I am so many things at one time.
But most of all
I am empty.
I am flowing
I am fast
I am the future
And the past.
I am silent
I am free
I am intangibility.
I am everything you have known.
I am all-consuming
all-surrounding
omnipresent
And yet
And yet.
I am so empty.
So, so empty.
(Is nothing an abundance of everything?)
Do you see me?
I am above you.
I am below you.
I am.
You.
I am seeping into your bones
Becoming everything you've known
Fading into everything you have forgotten
Everything you have discarded.
I fear that I am everything
And nothing
To you.
I am everything
Have been everything
Will be everything.
But most things
Most things
Are empty.
(Is god this lonely, too?)

It obviously needs work. But there it is.
