Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Bio

Plenty of Nothing

I gotta whole lot of emptiness,
a vacuum full of void
With no more heart problems around,
I’m not beset
by any sadness or regret
To tell you the truth,
I’ve got plenty of nothing left
There’s only an empty chest
of bittersweet memories ... less bad than good
Could things have worked out better?
				I’m sure they could
But, I love feeling light as a feather,
blowing a kiss goodbye to all my troubles
I have a big balloon full of emptiness,
	floating up, up and away
A vacuum filled with no more distrust,
zero gravity are my heart problems
		Getting jettisoned into the void
	is the best personal space burial
I’ve got plenty of nothing left,
no more bottled up heart problems 
		  kept hidden high on a shelf
I gotta hand full of emptiness,
enough to grab plenty of nothing that’s left
Only wanna let go of my hurt exhale;
open my empty heart and breathe in,
then fill up my heart with love again
There’s no more heartache left,
		simply need to exhale and take the next breath
	No more stress from wondering what’s next
I’ve got plenty of nothing left
Now ready to dive into the pool of love again,
so full of anticipation 
... no more wet dreams of emptiness
Ready to take the plunge even deeper — 
How long can I hold my breath?
