Each is "I"
and all are "me".
To every single heart that beats,
all other hearts are "you".
There is no one who stands closer to another;
there is no one who did not have a mother;
no one.
When words are spoken,
they are spoken by an "I",
and they are heard by a "me".
There is no one who does not belong;
there is no one who was born wrong
or uninvited;
no one.
Wit and wisdom;
misery, elation;
laughter and song!
Emanations from the depths my soul.
I do not exist as someone else's "you", or "her", or "they".
There is no one who does not originate their own laughter;
there is no one who was born before or after
the beginning of life, of humankind.
Each is "I"
and all are "me".
~M. Black
