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 Date: 11/26/2015 9:50:00 AM Sadly many will be able to relate to your poem - low self confidence and depression are so debilitating:-( hugs jan xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 11/26/2015 10:19:00 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 Date: 11/26/2015 10:13:00 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 :)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/20/2015 2:45:00 PM yes, finding no confidence or appreciation will make one feel such nothingness! Login to Reply Edward Ebbs Date: 9/20/2015 9:25:00 PM Hey you, thanks :)

Emile Pinet Date: 9/20/2015 2:00:00 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. Login to Reply Edward Ebbs Date: 9/20/2015 9:26:00 PM Emile, thank you :)

Michael Tor Date: 9/18/2015 2:15:00 PM Very clever thoughts expressed here Edward. This almost sounds like a provocative quote.Very well written. Login to Reply Edward Ebbs Date: 9/19/2015 5:58:00 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".
