paying the price <br />a blank page staring back at me <br />what to say? <br />taking the hardest hits <br />never knowing what will happen <br />never knowing if they’ll take it all away <br /> <br />the wind has lost its warmth <br />like I have lost myself <br />to everyone, everyone <br />and everywhere I look <br />everywhere I turn <br />there’s nothing there <br />nothing that I love <br /> <br />I feel so incredibly powerless <br />I am always seen <br />I am black on white <br />I try to change my colors <br />try to blend in <br />but my heart always fights <br /> <br />the sky has lost its silver lining <br />like I have lost myself <br />to useless words, hateful words <br />everywhere I go <br />every place I see <br />there’s no one there <br />no one that I love <br /> <br />wandering the city streets <br />ten thousand people <br />and not one of them are like me <br />people say we’re all the same <br />but we’re so immensely different <br />some of us don’t know who to be <br /> <br />this world has lost its innocence <br />like I have lost myself <br />to empty space, empty space <br />everywhere I go <br />the air is filled with silence <br />there’s nothing there <br />nothing that I love <br /> <br />give me something I can love <br />I need to feel nd see and hear <br />something I can love <br />all I need is something <br />something I can love <br /> <br />now I look at you <br />and I am scared to find <br />there’s nothing that I love.<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-that-i-love/
