Let Me Be Something

My thoughts that I write down

I write the words with my own blood 

My feelings are flooding the page

My loneliness, my sadness, my rage

I can't speak 

I'm too weak

I am nothing without this pen in my hand

But the suffering they put me through

I am in no place to stand

Beat me with your words and hate

Voices are screaming 

"It's too late"

Let me work the pain away

Let me work to feel numb 

Let me work until all I see is gray

The beating of drums 

Ringing in my ear as I punch my damaged walls

Let me scream and fall

Fall into nothing 

There is nothing

 I feel nothing

I am nothing

But you,

You were something
