Nothing

 

\"I close my eyes and you are there, 

Innocently unaware,

Stop me, stop me, 

Tell me, tell me,

Break my heart for all I care, 

As long as I get to be there,

Stop me, stop me,

Tell me,

Is it wrong?\"

 -- 23 by The Warning --

 

Nothing

 

Is it wrong?

It IS wrong, isn\'t it?

To want to be with you,

Even though I don\'t really know you. 

 

First time I heard about you was just a few months ago, 

Yet you managed to go dip in my heart, 

You managed to place yourself on the axis of my heart. 

 

Without knowing you,

You manage to make my heart BEAT,

Just by dreaming with you,

Just by seeing you on social media,

Just by listening to one of your songs. 

 

How many songs have I listened to? 

Just to spend the time thinking about you,

Yet you will never know I even exist, 

For my existence is nothing, 

My existence is as meaningless as a bug,

When yours is as impressive as the universe.

 

\"I think, therefore I am\", 

Yet I think, but I am NOT, 

For I am nothing, 

Just as my existence means nothing.

 

I am nothing,

No one cares to know something that is nothing, 

As it is not something for it to be nothing, 

Yet it gets to be something,

As when named as \"nothing\" it becomes something, 

It becomes something, other than confusing. 

 

And yet no one cares about that \"noting\",

As it looks scary to be nothing, 

People only care about what IS, 

And run away from what is NOT, 

For what is NOT can also BE, 

Just as what is NOT white, IS black.

 

Maybe that way, 

And only that way, 

I could be able to BE SOMETHING, 

Even if it is through being nothing.

 

But in this world that means nothing, 

As people will still see it just as nothing, 

And will look at what IS something, 

Just as you are,

For your existence has meaning, 

And as someone that IS,

Obviously you\'ll never even know about a \"nothing\" like me.
