The Sum

The Sum
By Benjamin Mui

I am not a failure			Nor am I a success
I am not my rejections			Nor am I my acceptances
I am not worthless			Nor am I special
I am not my weakness			Nor am I my strength
I am not a loss				Nor am I a triumph
	            I am the sum of Nothing
Neither the bad			Nor the good
Not who was				Nor whoever is to come
		     I am what is Now
	            I am who I choose to be
		      I am my actions
		 	   … 

			  I am
