I have nothing to give to you
Nothing to offer
Because I have nothing
Most have something
They don’t know it
And they’re ungrateful
They’re oblivious
To the people like me
Who have nothing
I have nothing, it’s painful
I have nothing, it’s lonely
I’m always trying to give something
But it isn’t enough
Like a homeless person
Selling his house
I don’t have anything, and you don’t want me
I don’t have anything, and you don’t like me
I thought that even with having nothing, I could
At least feel like I had something, but I was wrong
I feel empty, as if there is literally nothing inside me
I know you don’t like me, because I have nothing to offer
Nothing to give you
Nothing to fill up your hollow spaces
So stop taunting me and leave me alone
I don't want your presence near me
It is something I want, but cannot have
I’m going to fill all my own cracks with things
That aren’t supposed to be there
Things that hurt to use, things that look
Cheap and ugly
But they’re all that I have
So as I sit here
Drinking an ocean of nihility
I don’t want you to look at me

- Comment from author about the poem: This is a very "raw" poem I wrote when I was upset. There was little to no effort put into it. The wording is very simple and it doesn't have a lot of substance, but something about it is very saddening to me

WELCOME DOLL ~ thanks for a beautifully written "free verse" poem with a very poignant message.. O hope and pray that this is really in the past ! We all pass through stages of NIHILITY (I'm 33) when we feel unwanted ' invisible and suicidal. BUT ~ in my experience we do get through them. Thanks for sharing ~ YOURs BRIAN.
