Nothing.

Nothing.

The ceiling gets boring
After staring at it for four hours straight.
I just have no motivation anymore.
Theres just nothing.

I just dont want to move. Or talk. So I look to the window.
See the children happy and playing?
I used to be that way..
Naive.
I used to have something to believe.
But as you get older..
You lose sight of santa claus, the easter bunny, ... even god.
You have Nothing.

Your constantly confused.
And theres no escape. No way out. Nothing.

Screaming in a crowded room. No one looks up. They just go on with their mindless conversations.
Nothing.

Amazing.
How you can get hope.
From one person
That special someone
Their smile makes the stars jealous.
The laugh could move mountains.
Their eyes make the oceans turn their waves down.
They really mean that much to you.

So when the world screams back at you, \"You Are Nothing.\"
\"You never meant anything. You are worthless.\"
It just doesnt matter as long as you mean something to them.
And that makes me think..
If my first love,
my best friend,
my family
All believe I am worthless...
Why doesnt he?
Maybe I\'m not good enough for him..
I mustn\'t be. I can\'t be.
If I was worth anything, they\'d have stayed by my side.

So its only a matter of time...
Before he realizes...
I mean
Nothing.
