Paghunda Zahid Poet Free verse

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
