Nothing At All

I am young, I am old

I am everything I have been told

I am the shepherd, I am the sheep

I am a lion too scared to sleep

I

I am

I am not

I am not with you

So I am nothing at all

I am a whisper, I am a scream

I’m the regret after waking from a dream

I am fiction, I am sincere

I am sadness with a smile’s veneer

I

I am

I am not

I am not with you

So I am nothing at all

I am concrete, I am glass

I am the present pissed on the past

I am nothing at all

I am adored, I am alone

I am an orphan in my home

I am nothing at all

I am broken, I am whole

I am love out of control

I am nothing at all

I’m absolution, I am a fist

A memory that won’t be missed

I am nothing at all
