I am black, and I am white
I am full, and I am empty
I am brave, and I am timid
I am good, and I am wicked
I am everything, but I'm none
My voice, is not truly mine
Either are my smile and tears
I just plainly follow my script
And I simply play my role
I do it well, but I don't do it
For I'm a lake and a dark shade
And I break into countless parts
And I will never be same again
My soul grows back into infinite
But its beat and image, aren't mine...
I liked the verse very much for its philosophical and realistic description of human life. The comparison of human life to reel life has enhanced the beauty of the expression. Poet's view of life is nicely presented. For his tender age, the expression is matured. I appreciate the poet for his ripened state of mind.
And I simply play my role nice meditative poem..you are a part of everything because you are a part of God..
