To be Nothing...

It might take a while coz the poem's kinda long but if you have the time, please do read this coz it's one of the good poems I've written so far

Nothing is simply nothing
Without anything at all
Emptiness inside and out
Not an answer to any call

To have nothing isn't something
Not having anything
Not a friend, not a feeling
Nor to fight without a zing

I...I am...

Nothing - that's the truth
I am nobody - that's reality
To have nothing...to be nothing
Soon leads to a cruel fatality...

Though I am still alive,
Breathing and moving around,
Still my heart is beating,
Still my foot rests on the ground

I've already lost my life
Any longer, I do not exist
This heart has no more thumping
Coz by death I was already kissed

Why?

As time passed by I grew nothing
Tried fighting and struggled surviving
But thus far became no one
Had life that was never lasting

In that life there was this longing
A piece of me which felt like missing
Through those years I have been searching
Seeking the darkest path but found nothing

That life before was broken
Verve of existing was lost
Lacking this great part of life
Being nobody is what it cost

This missing part is such anonymity
Something that's been hidden in Zion
For a long time I have lingered,
Imprisoned in the walls of oblivion

But suddenly...

Patched in the middle of nowhere
In the shadows of the evening
The answer I'm yearning came to be
A decision, that's what I'm missing

To fill this bareness inside
Was a decision I needed to make
Dig my heels, whatever it may be
A decision that could keep this life awake

Withal knowing this is still worthless
Coz I cannot do anything
Death to hope in saving this life
For whatever I may do I'll stay nothing

Though I can fathom all knowledge
And move mountains with a hit
Still I'm a pathetic, pitiable person,
A breathing heartbroken spirit

For...

Whoever I may be
Whatever this world may bring
But never have been loved
Still...I am nothing
