F I do not regard myself as a poet but I do enjoy that poetry is short. I can express something within me without it having to be a novel.
If I could give it all, I did I gave away a privileged life, one could dream to live At the time, I didn't think I had much My mistake and all my glory was crushed My perspective was crooked All were in awe of my life, yet I overlooked it I thought of my life like a house of glass Too fragile and meek, so over-class Ironically, that was an understatement My life, a house of gold to be completely blatant Yet still I took my life with no value The gold was my ashtray I spew Now my life, a burnt down house, scarce of abundance A daily reminder of my descendance Into a void; hell Hopeless on whether I'll live to have a story to tell Of how life gave me something And how quickly I gave life reason to make me nothing

I Am Nothing
The gust of wind, so strong it takes your breath away The foul play of heavy rain, flooding the garden of your heart, wilting any vein well rooted The darkness of the sky, setting a mood of disparity The thunder, blocking the sweet melodies of good thought, Finally the lightning, putting arrest the entire body, to be left weak and numb The epitome of hopelessness, the tempest we face Yet have courage. The tempest is always temporary.
