I Am

I am

I am quiet

I am loud

I am there

do you see me

I am there in the crowd

Invisible

Like a ghost

I am gone

I am a shell

I am struggling

I am smiling

but

I am not happy

I am dying

We are all dying

Slowly

painfully

I am dead

I am there in the ground you see

I am getting covered

by thick brown dirt

I am there being watered by rain

I am forgotten
