Nothing

I don't have plaques, degrees or trophies. 
But I am branded in peoples minds. 
Every world I've entered on earth 
I've made a piece of mine. 
I can take a piece of paper 
and make it art instead of crime. 
Made vibrations of air 
making certian songs mine. 
I've written many pages of poetry 
that can make you laugh and cry. 
I've even been to places 
God took me for surprise. 
I've conquered the unconquerable 
addiction and suicide. 
Had one talk with God 
and depression left my mind.
And now there's only one battle left 
the battle of life and time.
nothing is all that I have left
while sitting here with mine
but one day when I'm long and gone
my treasure they'll one day find
