What is it to be nothing?
Is it to exist merely as a hollow entity?
To wander every day without a hope,
Without a cause to care?
I'll tell you what it feels to be nothing:
It is to look in the mirror to see eyes with no life,
Dull and flat,
Expressions lost.
It is to lie in bed at night,
And venture to trace your body,
Knowing deep down no one else would ever do the same.
It is to love with all your heart,
And never have that love returned,
Not without it's conditions.
It is to look to the sky,
And wish you were one of the stars,
So you never had to step foot on this earth again.
It is to give everyone the chance,
But have it thrown back in your face,
And endure their petty outbursts at your own expense.
It's to speak words that are meant,
But listen only to lies,
And wonder whether you should ever have told the truth.
It is to feel fresh salty tears caress your cheek every day,
And never knowing why,
But you know it feels good.
It is to watch the rain,
And while everyone else feels miserable,
You feel serenity and peace.
It is to be nice,
And wonder why the hell you tried,
Because it never makes any difference.
It is to just give up,
Because no matter what you do,
It will never have any worthwhile effect.
So you see “children”,
You're destroying us all.
All of us who have ever given you faith.
All of us who have tried to show you beyond what you see.
But you have forsaken us.
And yourselves.
Please tell me what you think

this has a very strong truth behind it all. for the children are forsaken all that has been given them.

Wow
This is a great write, I like it and can relate to much of it. It is is sad and desperate and hurting and angry. All strong emotions, and the way you blended them makes for a kick-ass write!

Forget what everyone else says,
Don't listen to all their lies.
Listen to the words by your One,
for they are never false alibis.
Time ticks by so slowly at times,
and you feel forever alone and deprived.
But there are those out here that care,
and One that loves beyond the span of mere lives.
You are not a nothing, nor are you worthless,
even though you may feel like a ghost,
or maybe feel like life is one big mess.
But Fate will change one day, you'll see,
You will find a Home where you're meant to be.
So forget what everyone else says,
Don't listen to all their lies.
You only need to open yourself
to the love in your Chosens' eyes.
You are loved, Onyx, whether you chose to be or not. You won't find it so easy to get rid of me.
