Multitudes

I was once

nothing

to the world
 and to you.

I've been living,

 and lamenting,
and loving life

all these years.

The world has broken me,

and put me back together.

I have travelled it,

with many places more to go.

I have met great people,

some of whom you'll never meet.
I have strange stories
some of which you'll never hear. But,

now I'm here

and I am multitudes -

sitting next to you.
