There You Are

No matter who you are with,
No matter what they do,
No matter where you go,
No matter what you do,
There you are.

No matter how often you cry,
No matter how often you laugh,
No matter how angry you are,
No matter how empathetic you try to be,
There you are.

No matter how much you stand by,
No matter how hard you hold your tongue,
No matter how little you help,
No matter how much you shout at people, ranting and raging,
There you are

No matter how bored you feel,
No matter how little you pursue your interests,
No matter how blah you allow yourself to be,
No matter how much you decide to punish yourself,
There you are

Nice refrain, Caren, one which resets everything within the framework it is cut out for. Blessings, Gershon

You are your brain; your brain is you. You cannot out run the noise. Excellent!
