Nothing


It feels good to be sad

I snap when I'm awaken

There's a beauty in being alone

That in groups is overtaken

My words become their words

I get nervous and don't think

It's most dangerous when I'm happy

when my personality sinks

 

I just want to be in solitary

when I am, the voices don't speak

But the second I'm around people

they sit at a table and meet

It's exhausting to be around anyone

it doesn't matter who you are

I get trapped in a box

and lose control of my heart

 

The days are never ending

the nights are long and sleepless

I stare up in the dark and regret

choices I made previous

So don't respond when I talk

Don't listen when I speak

all I say is nothing

all I think is nothing

all I mean is nothing

all I do is nothing

 

Everything is nothing
