Nothing



When your words are sharp and cutting,

it hurts my heart--

i feel like nothing


i fall down a long dark well;

if you ask, i'll only tell

you that "it's nothing"


(i feel like)

nothing.

  3. This is sad and I feel bad for the little girl inside each of us that has ever felt this pain.

  5. "i'm fine" and "it's nothing" are very abused phrases.....

  9. I can relate... But the playful rhythm makes this poem uplifting despite its sadness.
    I will not stay in that corner for long...
