(Your Name Here) In Nothing Land

I'm a lonely person
who walks this world
in search of
something.

People say to grab
the world
with your finger tips
but all I feel is
nothing.

Nothing has become
me, nothing
will always
understand

While I go long on
this road to
nothing...
Nothing Land.

We love your writing. Things can and will get better. I know the emptiness, and you’re never alone. Anyone here will pick you up and dust you off. You just let us know if you need a rescue.
