Nowhere and in between (Don't be a dick)

I am nowhere and in between

(I am still me)

I am everywhere yet I have not seen

(I need to travel more, read a book)

I'm a hop from a blind man and a daredevil from the all-knowing

(I know some things)

Morpheus sits across stern

(One pill, two pill, red pill, blue pill)

Can I live as I was and be who I must?

(Do I need a new routine?)

Break, Sprout, thrive, change

(Just keep becoming better)

Uneducated hatred fuels foolish fires

(Just be nice to people)

Fires that create an idiots arson

(Nice grows, hatred spreads)

Wind scatters ashes that reveal colors of life

(People are just people, all kinds)

I shall raise the phoenix, build it strong, stronger than me

(My children, my friends, my people)

“Don’t be a dick”

The hare’s start and the finish

I am nowhere and in between

I will be everywhere and I will speak

(I will do more and I will love profoundly)
