Nothing

by Sarah Boom

I'm weak

I'm powerless

I'm a coward full of fear

I'm lost

I'm forgotten

Wishing help were here

I'm alone

I'm confused

I can't help feeling used

Fuck the government

Fuck the system

Fuck all the things I've missed

Because I know to everyone

I'm nothing

You can lie to me as much as you please

Tell me the things you think you see

But you are just as wrong

As any other person's words have been

I'm too young

I'm too old

I'm alone and feeling cold

And there's nothing here to warm my icy heart

Take a torch and melt the walls

The beating ceased long ago

But no one could ever know

Because of the barriers that I apply

When I'm feeling I need to hide

From the world and from myself

I am still stuck inside my hell

My mind is a mental prison

Of which I cannot escape

All I want is happiness again

How much could this take?

Give me the love that I hold dear

And give me the faith to remain right here

Because right now I'm feeling lost inside

It's such a vast long void

A feeling that I can't deny

A feeling that I've lost

A feeling that has vanquished into thin air

Because the feelings have all disappeared

And I am no longer here

I am still

Only nothing

Talk to me! What does being happy mean to you. Kids make some people happy others feel overwhelmed and that isn't bad. It's a lot of work responsibility. I've helped raise three, two of mine and a stepdaughter. You can send me an email anytime about anything. And NO I don't have all the answers. gjhoerner@gmail.com
