We are connected

I am but a shadow of your imagination
A thought of what could be
A reminder of the past
A preserver of the present
I am the truth you speak
The lies you spread
The joy you bring
The sorrow you leave
I am everything and anything
But yet nothing
I am she who conquered her fears
He who saved humanity
I am they who discovered a cure
And the first to be saved
I am the flicker of hope
Keeping many alive
The devastating disaster
The causer of a downfall
I am the first to settle
The last to leave
Everything you want
Nothing you need
