LITERATURE: POETRY
Vincent Sikes
Statement:
Who am I? I am not everyone. Neither everything, but rather, I am me. What am I? I am everything. Even though everything is defined as all objects, one must remember that no one will ever see every cloud, touch every star, or taste ever sea breeze. Therefore, I define 'everything' as anything that I have ever experienced. I am everything. Why? For anything that I've ever experienced has made some impression upon me, and therefore has shaped me, and therefore is me. See my logic? You are reading words, that are not of my origion: rather, words that were taught to me. I merely formulate and relay them into sentences that sufficiently portray the thought I wish to convey. So it can be stated, I am nothing, because I have not created any word that has every proceeded from my mouth. I am nothing. Why? Because I say not a single thing that has not been given to me; did I create myself? Did I teach myself? No. I am nothing, but what has been given me and taught.
And so, I am everything, but nothing at the same time.
