Sadly many will be able to relate to your poem - low self confidence and depression are so debilitating:-( hugs jan xx

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 :)

yes, finding no confidence or appreciation will make one feel such nothingness!

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.

Very clever thoughts expressed here Edward. This almost sounds like a provocative quote.Very well written.

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".
