am I nothing?

nothing

nothing

nothing more than white noise

that clogs your ears

making everything hard to understand

am I nothing more than water

what drags you deep under

away from the sunlight

nothing more than fire

choking you

burning your skin

nothing more than gray clouds

blocking out the sunlight

making the world seem darker

and colder

am I nothing more than words

that you never wished to hear

that you never wished to speak

nothing more than reponsibilites

that you wish to run away from

and forget

am I nothing more than nothing?

am I nonexistent

am I only an empty space

for you to fill in

with something

something that is not me

because apparently

I'm not something

at least, something you care about
