You Think

Ebony, Guardian of Freedom and Expression

You think about yourself.
About your future, your past, and your present.
You think about your friends,
and what they've done for you.
You think about your enemies,
and what they've done to you.
You think about your pain and joy,
and the times that both have been thrust upon you.
About the choices you've made;
the paths you've taken.
To try to comprehend the meaning of it all.
You attempt to fathom the reason why
everything is the way it is,
why you are the way you are.
You think about everything you've done
and thought.
You think about your being.
You think about yourself.
