Poem -

i am everyone who has ever been.

i am everyone who has ever been. i am those i love, i am those i hate. in every mannerism i use in every word i say in every way i move and in every breath i take i am reflecting all i have ever met. the human brain copy’s and learns, meaning each and every way i am and present i am everyone i have ever known and everyone they have ever known. a million people are kept alive by my simple words and another million are dead by them. we are all reflections of all that has ever been, we are the graves of billions the spark of trillions and the roots of generations to come. a simple word i say in a simple tone will bring some to tears and some to laughter, it will have been the last word someone said and the last another heard, it will be the first someone said and the first another heard.it will spark life and death happiness and sadness envy and love in one simple second, a thousand will have died by my words double will have lived. in a hundred years 2 lovers will gaze into each others  eyes and reignite a fire in which my love once burned. in a million years someone will make an adaptation of a joke i made just now and in that word i will live for another thousand. in a billion years someone will tuck their hair behind their ears in such a mannerism i happen to possess and i will live another million. an eternity later another life will begin and a breath will be taken, in such a way it reflects everyone that has ever been and in that breath we will live forever. i’m not scared to be forgotten as i am everyone there will ever be and they are me.

Great first line. And what follows reads like a stream of consciousness piece. That you wrote it down exactly as it came to you. This poem appeals to me because it is all about connections both from the past to you and from you to the future. The line "in a hundred years 2 lovers will gaze into each other's eyes and reignite a fire in which my love once burned" is my favourite, incurable romantic that I am.

such a beautiful way of putting it. i find that writing in such a way where it is unplanned and sort of ‘dawns’ on you makes such an authentic and interesting experience especially when it’s discussing the more philosophical matters.

Thank you. Yes you are right. Dawns on you is a nice way of putting it.
