If there is no one to see me
And no one to hold me and bring me close
I am
If there is no one on the other side
More than the mirror staring into my soul
I am more
If I yell and scream and all that meets it is the echo of the noise
I am monumental
If I sing and the only applause is the ringing in my ear
I am the creator
If the only reader of my words is the writer
I am forever
If my tears wet only my cheeks
I am real
And if there is no one except the dust that I was
Weeping for me
I am eternal
