---

life and death white and black

i am the nothingness between them

And this world becomes my canvas

Painting everything in shades of grey with

My meaningless words

My arrogant voice

Trying to make sense

in senseless sentience

An empty mind but so full of myself

The infinity confined to the limits of this mind

A warmth enough to keep from death

But not enough to flourish with life

my hands, my eyes, my voice my ears

These are my tools

To siphon the joy and color

from everything

There in between the black and white

Is where everything converges

With me

I am the filter

Where light feverishly sheds into night
