I AM YOU

I was with you when nobody was around
I was with you when nobody else could be found
I was with you when nothing for you was left in the world around
I was with you as a feeling and as an inner sound.

I was there with you in your fall
When you were left by all
In your troubles big or small
Keeping you intact to life's enthrall

I followed you to your wildest dream
Where nobody else could hear you scream
I stood by your side in the darkest gleam
As a strength when so feeble you seem.

I was there in all your need
Supporting you in all your creed
I was there to warn you against your greed
And to control your actions and misdeeds.

You feared
I encouraged.
You fell
I held.
You cried
I consoled.
You rebelled
I backed.
You were heartbroken
I endured pain.
You were wounded
I bled.
You laughed
I was elated.
You succeeded
I rejoiced.
You expressed
I felt.
You acted
I experienced.
You thought
I reflected.

My existence may not matter to you
I may not be figuring in your everyday view
But there is one thing for sure
You are my body, I am your soul
You are me, I am you.
