I am
The darkness hidden
Secluded within the confines of the world
Watching as people show who they are
I am
No hypocrite. I do not care
I have no hate
I have no remorse
I am
done with humanity. I’ve
had enough of the moronic fighting.
I have no feelings.
I am
The one
Watching from the guidelines I have severed my
Ties.
I have
Many names
Got perhaps the world the universe all or nearly one
But for most I am you.
I truly am the truth of the human face, hollow.

Very powerful variation on the I Am From genre poems presented by Dr. Reissman's students.
