Nothing To Lose
When you've got nothing..
You've got nothing to lose.
No possessions or ties, just an empty expanse..
No love to hold onto, just a fleeting glance.
When you've got nothing..
You've got nothing to choose.
No options or paths, just a vast emptiness..
No dreams to pursue, just a state of restlessness.
When you've got nothing..
You've got nothing to win.
No victories or triumphs, just endless defeat..
No hope to cling to, just a heart that's in retreat.
When you've got nothing..
You've got nothing to blame.
No excuses or reasons, just a void of regret..
No one to hold accountable, just yourself to forget.
When you've got nothing..
You've got nothing to fear.
No expectations or hopes, just a numbness within..
No pain to endure, just a soul stripped thin.
And when you've got nothing..
You've got everything to gain.
No expectations, no regrets, just the passing of time..
A world to embrace, and the rhythm of rhyme.
