Nothing

I don't have plaques, degrees or trophies. But I am branded in peoples minds. Every world I've entered on earth I've made a piece of mine. I can take a piece of paper and make it art instead of crime. Made vibrations of air making certian songs mine. I've written many pages of poetry that can make you laugh and cry. I've even been to places God took me for surprise. I've conquered the unconquerable addiction and suicide. Had one talk with God and depression left my mind. And now there's only one battle left the battle of life and time. nothing is all that I have left while sitting here with mine but one day when I'm long and gone my treasure they'll one day find

John--what an intriguing read. I was immediately drawn to your words and empathize with your painful struggles. I recently read how struggles draw one closer to God. If that be the case, you must certainly be nearer to Him. I've struggled a lot recently but surprisingly emerged with stronger faith. I've struggled most of my life with 'not fitting in.' Took me a long time to realize that I wasn't supposed to. Oops...I rambled. Needless to say, I enjoyed your creation. Sara Etgen-Baker
