I am a lie
A self loving, self hating
Little bout of consciousness
Declaratively relating

I am a desert
Vastly constituted by shifting sands
Mighty and empty
Soulessly existing so grand

I am a desperate mime
Grasping for words to scream
No thoughts to think, no message to speak,
No visions to tell or dream

I am an ocean
Mistaken for depth and wealth
Inspiring to a colony of fools
While drowning at the bottom of myself
