The Irony of Death

I am immortal in life.
I see all, live in tears
Thrive in fears.
I touch everything and everyone,
I am what you will become.
I follow your steps,
I wait in your home.
I am all.
I am nothing.
I will never die.
I am the shadow of your life.
I am forever.

(I) think that the I's have it, apart from that third line.
Now the theme is good but all those I's are just too much to take on this piece, I am sure it is positive but it becomes like a list as you read.
Theme wise I think you can sort it out, Yours Ian.T
