Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain't Worth Something. <br />The more I work <br />The less I have. <br />The lesser I have <br />The harder I have to work. <br /> <br />Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain't Worth Something. <br />Just when I got use <br />To the Nothing I already had. <br />Then here comes a new nothing <br />To make my first nothing not so bad. <br /> <br />Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain't Worth Something. <br />The more of the new nothing <br />On my mind that I've got. <br />I wish for the first nothing <br />That no longer seems like a lot. <br /> <br />Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain't worth Something. <br />For this new nothing got me <br />Where I don' know how to begin. <br />And it just keeps on coming <br />Like trouble will never end. <br /> <br />Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain't Worth Something. <br />The groanings and pains <br />The worries and sleepless nights. <br />The cares of its conclusions <br />The things I took too light. <br /> <br />Don't Tell Me Nothing <br />Ain'Worth Something. <br />When its all I wish I had <br />And if someone else <br />Has this same type of nothing <br />Well honey I sho' ain't mad.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-tell-me-nothing-ain-t-worth-something/
