Água Viva by Clarice Lispector

3.0

I am what I am,
I am sinful I am virtuous,
I am filth I am unstained,
I am ugly I am beautiful,
I am chaos I am order,
I am despair I am exultation,
I am black I am white,
I am privileged I am underprivileged,
I am fortune I am unfortune,
I am fire I am water,
I am tree I am obelisk,
I am earth I am sky,
I am the Sun I am the Moon,
I am fragment I am the whole,
I am extinct I am existing,
I am created I am annihilated,
I am known I am unknown,
I am success I am failure,
I am body I am soul,
I am logic I am nonsense,
I am captive I am free,
I am sorrow I am joy,
I am devil I am god,
I am heaven I am hell,
I am consciousness I am unconsciousness,
I am existence I am nothingness,
I am intermittent I am perpetual,
I am moment I am forever,
I was ever I will be ever,
I am dead I am alive,
I am death I am life,
I am finite I am infinite,
I am what universe comprises of
I am what universe is: I am the universe.
