I have no name
I have no purpose
Nobody notices me
I am worthless
Always there
Constantly near
And yet
I’m the number one advocate for fear
I give you all I can
I open myself to you
Perhaps my nature
Makes you feel askew
Selfless hate
Execrate loving
I’m like a wisp of a cool summer's breeze
Gone in an instant, it’s attention I’m desiring
So, what am I?
What makes me who I am?
Am I malicious or benevolent?
Am I a sir or a ma’am?
Perhaps, I am not one thing
This must be the answer
I see it now
I am a creator, an enhancer
I am you, the one over there
I am the floor your feet rest upon
I am the seven seas and beyond
I am all the beasts from deep in the Amazon
I am the warmth of a hug
The solemnity of death
The strength of love
The first and last breath
The individuality of each snowflake flying
The tip of the highest peaks
The dogs and fish floating up in the sky, crying down on us
The first word of a small bird, I am the first tweet
I have no name
I have no purpose
Nobody notices me
I am momentous
