I am nothing
Therefore I do not give
I am no one
Therefore I do not live

I stare with concrete eyes
And sleep with emtpy dreams
But into these starry skies
Nothing is as bad as it seems

With every day, I shine
And wish that this pain will go
Cos this heart still is mine
Even though it has nothing to show

**i tried, its sucky**

Wrong on all counts!!! It is not 'sucky' and you are not 'nothing'...sorry about the double negative!

We write what is in our hearts so that can't be wrong or bad or worthless...you've shared yourself with us and we are all grateful.

It's very nice to meet you poetic friend!

Wrong, it's not sucky. There can be no perfect answer to this challenge except what each writes...and in that, you have succeeded. Thank you for joining us here at PiP, and for taking the time to answer this challenge in your own way.

But into these starry skies
Nothing is as bad as it seems

And these lines ring true, friend. You are and will yet be a wonderful addition to our family.

You heard Sharon!! She said and I quote: "It's not "sucky" and you're not "nothing". Thank you for sharing from your soul with us. I like what I see so just keep being you and stop believing you are nothing cause you're not!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Well, I would be remiss if I did not wholeheartedly agree with the wise miss deVine. . . this was quite good. . .

Welcome to Passions and we hope that you will become a regular member of the family. . .
