Nothing

If everything was 
to be nothing
     Nothing!
Would all your worries
		also be nothing?
All some things that
            you strived to achieve
would amount to be nothing!
     Ha!
I scoff,
	for I who had nothing
     lost nothing 
and you that had something
	lost
	it
	all.
Nothing, wouldn’t that be something?
