DM Babbit Poet Elegy

I Am Nothing

I am no one and nothing of importance
  lest you look a little deeper into my eyes and read my soul.
I am indistinct and unremarkable, naked and revealed
  transparent for the world to see the emptiness of nothing.

And yet, I am everyone -  visible with only myself to show.
