Nothing


Why do I sit around

Lying

Crying

Hoping that someone will see 

see through me

I'm crying

I need help

The dark is so empty

Yet so full

Suddenly I'm underwater

I see everyone with me

But they can breathe 

I can't 

I can't breathe

I'm struggling

I'm screaming 

help

please

I try to grab something but all I get is nothing

Nothing

What a fascinating word

You can use it in so many ways

What's wrong?

Nothing

Are you sick?

No, it's nothing

Nothing

You can use it in so many ways

What are you?

Nothing

I am nothing

That's how I feel

Nothing.
