I am nothing there is nothing and yet something nothing does not make noises horrible noises screeching noises unbearable noises I want to clutch my ears to block out the sounds the sounds of terror of torture but nothing cannot cover anything the sounds pierce my awareness it hurts but how can it hurt when there is nothing nothing hurts nothing makes me want to run away makes me want to hide nothing is a torture I do not want nothing I want something but I cannot specify nothing comes to mind nothing fills everything until naught but nothing is left ***************************************** The painful poem It's quite angsty, I know. However, I'd also like to know if it affected something in you. If so, what? and how?

At first I was a little uneffected until I moved on and then it all hit home. I'm not good at this Jem, so I may not be able to explain it well. I thought at first it was a poem about you feeling like you were worthless and perhaps it was, but as I moved on it felt more like someone crying out for life, crying out for something worthwhile to come into their life. And in those words I felt all the heartache that envelopes that quiet soul; that person no one ever notices much, who everyone else thinks is fine, but who is really dying inside and crying out for someone to notice. And then the devastation that comes with realising that no one will notice and 'nothing' will continue. I liked this poem a lot. I always do like poems that have an impact. I hope you can make something out of these ramblings.

Oh, I understand what you mean. And you hit the head on the nail.
I wrote it during my deep depression, so yeah, feelings of worthlessness and despair are rather major in it.
I'm glad it touched something in you. It means I managed to put my feelings down 'correctly', 'cause the way you describe the impact it had on you it has conveyed exactly what I wanted it to.
