I Am

I am nothing.

Nothing is I

Doesn’t make sense, does it?

To occupy a space

To make a lasting impression beneath your feet

And say those words as breeze bends around you

Everything is something

Nothing is something with everything in it

If I am nothing,

What does that say?

I am still a daughter

A niece

A granddaughter

A friend 

A colleague 

A lover

A memory.

Or is that too vague?

Am I too much in other eyes?

I don’t sell much, but I’m a painter

Cats may make more pleasant sounds, but I’m a singer

A writer I am and the words are my own

Rough as they are they come from me alone

Music comes in a wordless tune,

But it is mine.

And that is everything.
