I Am Nothing

I leave the place 
Where I first learn 
To laugh and to cry 
hungered and be tired 
To love and be love 
And to dream their dream 
Because the time ask for it 
Not to gain what I dream 
But to give what their dreams. 
I know my family need me 
To support them financially 
But I failed to gave what I keep 
By sending what their basic needs 
Because until now I'm just like my family 
Suffering from poverty.
