Haven't tried writing in some time. So this came to mind randomly. Inspired by Into the Nothing by Breaking Benjamin.


Letting go of nothing.

It's all I started with.
It's all that remains.
It's all that I have when I can't embrace the pain.

I've tried reaching out.
It's what they say I should do.
It only makes it worse.
Like my head's in the vice an your turning the screw.

If I say nothing no one notices.
To say anything is more like begging repentence.
Maybe I deserve this.
Like a 10 year death sentence.

I lay here alone barely alive.
I think back on my choices.
Were any of them right?

The pain I have caused.
Is this what I deserve?
After all I have done.
Is this my curse?

Spent my life wanting anything to hold on to.
When in the end I always had you.

Nothing.
Is it really so bad?
It can't really hurt you.
It won't make you sad.
It's always there when you need it the most.
In the back of my mind
Following me like a ghost.

I will attempt to embrace you to find inner peace.
Maybe if I can forget everything.
I'll have nothing at least.
