I stand alone,
I stand together.

I stand quiet,
I stand with my voice.

I feel awed,
I feel inspired…

I awe,
I inspire.

I am nothing,
I am multiplied into everything.

I am everything, and
I’m divided again into nothing

I stand strong for my beliefs, and
I stand weak in my defense.

I weep for my sorrows,
I stand strong for my friends.

I have confidence,
I lack all self-esteem

I laugh in the face of adversity, and
I falter under pressure.

I see the sunlight,
I see the frozen air.

I feel your presence,
I feel your exodus.

I stand tired of this,
I stand rested for it.

I hear the screaming crowd,
I hear the crushing silence.

I see the beginning,
I see the end is near.

I see Life’s brilliance,
I feel Death’s ignorance.

I feel love in my heart,
I see hate with my eyes.

I am everything, and
I am nothing.
