I am the epitome
Of the man who does not speak.
A short sigh
I almost cry.
I am the life
And the death
Of the perennial flower
I am love
I am decay
I am knowledge.
A short sigh
I almost cry.
I am something
I wish I could forget.
A short sigh
I am glad to be me
I almost cry.
I am happy
I am hurting
I am wise.
You see me sigh
You may even see me cry.
I am.
