Look at me.

I am bones and molecules and cells.
I am strands of fibers and blood.

My muscles twitch and tear.
My heart drums to its own beat.
My cranium is painfully expanding.

My fingers simultaneously type.
My nerves are unpredictable.
My emotions are uncontrollable.
My spine twists and turns.

Look at me.

I am the forgotten past.
I am the moment, the present.
I become the future.

Look at me.

I am the collection of select entities.
I am the memory of my former self.
I am the creator and the product.

Look at me.

I am disgust's child.
I am ignored happiness.
I am almost wise. I am not.

Look at me.

I am religion in a grasp.
I am Alpha and Omega.
I am life and death.

Look at me.

I am Satan. I am not.
I am Buddha. I am not.
I am everything. I am nothing.

Look at me.

I am biased thoughts.
I am egoism.
I am many mistakes.

Look at me.

I am alternate realities.
I am reality.
I am my own false reality.

Look at me.

I am change.
I am knowledge.
I am rebirth.

Look. At. Me.

Wow.  I could hardly get through this one, for images forming, and questions asking themselves.  I kept trying to run away and think on it, and had to push myself to keep going.  You've got a lot in there, and I'm going to reread it now, and enjoy it even more.

I liked it except for the look at me parts.
