7. Between Nothingness and Eternity

```

Barren of events,

Rich in pretensions

My earthly life.

Obscurity

My real name.

Wholly unto myself

I exist.

I wrap no soul

In my embrace.

No mentor worthy

Of my calibre

Have I.

I am all alone

Between failure

And frustration.

I am the red thread

Between Nothingness

And Eternity.
