I am not nothing
Who are you to hate me?
 Who are you to 
 Give me this look of disgust
 Like I am nothing
 Who are you
 To label me as nothing?
 
 I am more than you know
 More than what shows through this
 Cautious smile
 Don’t take me for granted
 How would you feel
 If one day I was gone?
 
 If you peel apart the layers of my mind
 Like an onion that makes your eyes tear up
 You’d see that I am more than anyone knows
 I am not nothing
 If you could just break out
 Of your self centered world, would you see?
 
 And who are you
 To hate me
 For what I have not done?
 Because I know now
 You don’t have to look at me anymore
 But I am not nothing
 
 Who are you to hate me?
 And label me as nothing?
 Because I am not a hateful person
 And I am not nothing
 So wipe that sophisticated glare off of your face
 And look at me
