Nothing
flowing-pen
writer of poetry
beautiful
verses
and rhymes that tell stories
that drip from my pen
from the depth of my soul
I will create
picking carefully my words
and then
all my effort adds up to nothing
no way
nada not in this life fat chance
perish the thought
forget it
no prize for you
nil zilch zero nothing
the nothingness
overwhelms me
with sadness
my poem
may seem a trifle thing
that dripped from my pen
from the depth of my soul
I wrote it
picking carefully my words
and then
for a moment and just for a second
I feel
unimportant insignificant nothing
the rejection
overwhelms me with sorrow
worthless
and then
I think not
no way
I refuse I will not be nope I will and I can
NOTHING will stop me
from being the poet
God himself
set into motion nothing will deter my purpose
that is-
to write from the depth of my soul
never for nothing but always
and forever for me
