I Am Nothing

I am nothing, Standing right in the middle of nothingness Doing a lot, but nothing, Gained a lot, but nothing Worth noting, absolutely nothing, And waiting, waiting for something That too is nothing! So hard it is to live With shattered dreams Things get so well at first, But then you step into the light And find out, that you were no one, Having in your bowl literally nothing Around me, I look at people In streets, in Parks, in market, in universities I see smiles All are so happy----at peace, I wonder, how are they so content! I can see, they are nobodies too, Then why are they not upset? You live your life until You are an adult Then the Life lay its iron Hand upon you And teaches you things that you loath, And you scramble, you fall and yet get up again, And you are pushed towards a street with dead end, Where you keep walking Until the son of Eternity embraces you
