I am... I am... what? I am all. I am nothing. I am new, yet decidedly old. I am me. Most certainly I am myself. My mother say’s I am special. I have been you. And I have been them. I’ve been all been that one could be. But I have given it up, Just to be me. (I never joined the army) I am human. I am sin. I am forgiveness. I am animalistic. I am damnation, yet I hold salvation. I am not you. I am not them. I am a figment of your imagination. < !signature--> understanding is misunderstood [This message has been edited by Effigy (edited 04-30-2000).] |

I am a figment of your imagination ------------ very deep indeed... very interesting too... great job on this. enjoyed the read. ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |

Good job. You met this challenge very well. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
