Nothing To Myself

by Some Random Human   Mar 31, 2010


Why would you ever fall for me,
why would you even think that I could be,
anything for you, when I'm nothing to myself,
I often sit and I wonder why,
you wanted to make it you and I,
'cause without you, I'm nothing to myself,

No, I'm nothing to myself,
but you're everything to me,
nothing to myself,
so what more could I be,
if I'm nothing to myself,

But you reassure me,
that I'm all you need me to be,
I'm everything to you, but I'm nothing to myself,
and it's so confusing,
how could you not just be using,
using me, but you see I'm nothing to myself,

No, I'm nothing to myself,
but you're everything to me,
nothing to myself,
so what more could I be,
when I'm nothing to myself,

Oh no, I'm nothing at all,
nothing at all, no,
so how could you fall,
if I'm nothing at all,
nothing to myself,
oh, I'm nothing to myself,

No, I'm nothing to myself,
but you're everything to me,
nothing to myself,
so how could I be,
everything you need,
'cause I'm nothing to myself...

    Okay, so I'll start out saying I've read poems like this a thousand times. That's okay, but there's ways to make it so much more catchy;

    " No I'm nothing to myself...
    nothing to myself...
    when I'm nothing to myself"
    Try jazzing it up a bit, like;
    "No I'm nothing to myself...
    not a thing to myself...
    when I'm nothing to myself."

    It's not as expected and empasizes a bit more.

    some people say I is too much, not to use it at all.. I don't agree with that. But you can make a poem too wordy by using tiny words way too much and over and over.
    The first stanza is bad with the I's, one way to make it tons better is;
    "I often sit and I wonder why"
    Try;
    I often sit and wonder why

    Or
    "you wanted to make it you and i"
    you could do;
    you wanted us to make it.

    I personally think the first one flows better, both changed is just fine. but the first is by far the best, for me.

    this is a good poem. i don't vote unless i vote a 3 or higher (for future reference) because i don't want anyone's scores to be brought down significantly.
    i am giving you a 3 though, so i will vote
