Nothing

The twelfth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is my twelfth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

When you are at the bottom it always seems that there is nothing for you, no one for you, nowhere to go, no help to be had and nothing to aim for. I have tried to encapsulate that feeling in these lines.

The music I have chosen is "Nowhere" by Therapy? which I think I played when I was with Spoon.

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

Nothing is what is left of yours

Though you toiled and worked hard for hours

Nothing is your final reward

Nothing for you in this bad world

πŸ–€πŸ’€

Nothing to eat so you must starve

Your soul fading the way so hard

You lose yourself, you were something

They now ignore you, you’re nothing

πŸ–€πŸ’€

You have no friends, you are nothing

You’re in the dark, You cannot sing

You shed your skin, you’re almost bone

You lost your soul, now you're alone

πŸ–€πŸ’€

As your flesh is torn, you’re body stings

You are dissolved, you are nothing

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

    Very well written. So beautifully dramatic.

  • Oof, this was emotional. The feeling of nothingness, the void, it was so strong and very well portrayed by your choice of words. Very well executed!
