The Doctor

He is the man that is everywhere, yet nowhere.
He is the man that is in all of time and space.
The man filled with sadness, guilt, and anger.
The man filled with happiness, love, and understanding.
He is the smartest and the dumbest.
He is protection, he is destruction.
He is loved and he is hated.
He is excitement and adventure.
He is the man you feel safe with, even if you’re dying.
He is the man of a thousand faces.
He is the mad man with a blue box.
And, worst of all, he is the man on the television screen, unreachable.
