Edward Ebbs Poet Choka

Notes About The Poem

 

 

I Am Nothing

The credence of life
Looking for some confidence
Given depreciation
There is nothingness
Where is appreciation
Treasure hunting for passion
Investing in hope

Jan Allison November 26, 2015 at 9:50 AM Sadly many will be able to relate to your poem - low self confidence and depression are so debilitating:-( hugs jan xx Jan Allison November 26, 2015 at 10:19 AM ha ha ha that is pretty ironic isn't it - so glad you don't suffer from depression:-) There are always the screwed contests which are a great way of getting the poem the attention it deserves:-) hugs jan xx Edward Ebbs November 26, 2015 at 10:13 AM Jan, I channel energy from others, and yes, I have witnessed this...but if I did feel this way when I wrote the poem, I got a NA for the contest, I busted up laughing, how ironic :)

Constance La France September 21, 2015 at 10:53 AM Edward, so often in life we are made to feel like nothing, well done and thanks for visiting my nothing poem ... Edward Ebbs September 21, 2015 at 10:50 PM Thank You Broken :)

Andrea Dietrich September 20, 2015 at 2:45 PM yes, finding no confidence or appreciation will make one feel such nothingness! Edward Ebbs September 20, 2015 at 9:25 PM Hey you, thanks :)

Emile Pinet September 20, 2015 at 2:00 PM Your word choice is good and the message sent is strong and emotional. Your words gently take the reader to your private place where sanity can drift and unravel. Emile. Edward Ebbs September 20, 2015 at 9:26 PM Emile, thank you :)

Michael Tor September 18, 2015 at 2:15 PM Very clever thoughts expressed here Edward. This almost sounds like a provocative quote.Very well written. Edward Ebbs September 19, 2015 at 5:58 PM Micheal, pondering...the flow is a bit off. This was intended to be the feelings of someone fighting depression. I don't think I pulled it off. Maybe a title change from "nothing" to "depression".
