Favorite Quote:
"Endure, and keep yourself for days of happiness." -Mary Engelbreit


I am the bottomless darkness and the colossal void
I am the master of virulent disease and bloodthirsty war
I am the bringer of change and the killer of all that is known
I am the dissolver of bodies and the thief of senses
I am the force that drives life away in fear
I am inescapable for I strike all
I am the soft touch in the dead of night
I am loathed anathema and gingerly voiced taboo 
I am the dark side of the moon and the opposite of everything known
I am merciless homicide and unforgiving butchery
I am the taker of everything with no judgement
I am the wailing in the wind and the whispers on the breeze
I am the cacophony and the most complete silence
I am piercing pain and adamant apathy
I am elusive mystery and inquest unsatisfied
I am the ambiguous immaterial and the revered inviolable
I am the all-encompassing universe and the oblivious abyss
I am the omnipotent emperor of evolution and crystalline creation
I am every substantial atom in eternal existence
I am made of ethereal souls and fueled by splendid happiness
I am the tie between the smallest bacteria and the juggernaut star
I am abhorrent hate and impassioned love
I am infinite dynamism in amaranthine fervor
I am the past and the present and the future
I am a comforting blanket of belated beloveds
I am a fiery conflagration of memory
I am exalted relief and coveted absolution
I am fight and flight and freedom
I am all light and color in glorious synthesis

I am death.

I wrote this piece as a school assignment and was suggested by my teacher to publish in poetry competitions. The prompt was 'Let your Imagination Fly' and I took a unique spin.
