William Burroughs
I am what I am. I am observing, I am not containing.
I am form, I am fluctuating.
I am flowing and I am not medium specific.
I am optimistic, I am disappointed, I am passing and I am finding.
I am not the first, I am one in the chain, I am not the last.
I am collecting, I am letting go.
I am warm and I am cold.
I am not thought, I am not body, I am not my name.
I am not my birth, I am not my death.
I am not singular, I am not collective.
I am lost.
I am found.
I am consuming, I am creating.
I am frustrating, I am contradicting, I am obstinate.
I am trying. I am trying.
I am effort and I am effortless.
I am restricted. I am boundless.
I am an artist, I am living, I am still becoming.
I am not a statement.
I am the sum of my parts, I am those who love me, I am those who despise me.
I am the one who wrote this, I am the one reading this.
I am simple, I am empty.
I am thoughtful and I am opinionated.
I am never a best, I am never a worst.
I am doing what I've done, I have succeeded just by the doing .
I am that I am, I am what I produce, what I produce is not what I am.
I am writing and I am finished.
