“If someone doesn’t add to your life don’t add them to it.” -my Mom


I am nothing

     Till you search

I have no name 

     Till you find

I have no age 

     Till you count

I have no memories 

     Till you ask

I have no fears 

     Till you are alone

I am nothing

     Till you speak

            And then I am you

                          And that is Everything

I was inspired to create this piece because i find that i put all my identity in the back of my mind and i dont show it unless someone asks.
