I Am Everywhere and I Am Nowhere


Water is transparent.
A liquid with no definitive shape.
Versatile.
Always shifting.
Ability to freeze and then melt.
Water is something people desire.
Water is something people fear.
Water is everywhere and nowhere.
I am water.
I am this solid human-being with a definitive shape,
But I am always changing.
Changing my perspectives,
My style,
My language,
My interests,
My priorities.
I am accustomed to adjustment.
I am rearranging myself to become a better person;
A better form of me.
I have these tendencies to build walls in front of me.
I have these tendencies to tear them down.
I am unwanted at times.
I am not needed when I want to be.
Other times I am desired when I can't seem to be there.
I am water.
I am actually myself.
But if i could be anything, I'd be water.
I am transparent because you can read my thoughts on my face.
I am everywhere and I am nowhere.
I am always moving; a constant flow of thoughts.
But somehow I still haven't been anywhere.
I am water.
I am everything and I am nothing.
