nothing.

not any thing.

no single thing.

you see? the dictionary can't tell you what nothing means, and I expect me to have the answer. the only travesty is that I indeed know what nothing is.

nothing is the first blade of grass
that withers away come summer.
you thought you could play on lush greens, but dead dry leaves are a ******.

nothing is also the bottom of a
once-full glass - you emptied its
contents thinking "this too, shall pass".

nothing is the first page of a diary
that you intended to keep. it is now
used as a paperweight, a place for
dust to sleep.

nothing is the first lie you ever
learned to tell - to bravely decorate
your face with a smile even if your pockets are filled with hell.

my personal favourite definition -
nothing is the space I occupy
on your overworked mind - I try
hard to look for traces of me but
they seem impossible to find.
Lol aaj kya kiya - "nothing" // close shave today late hua.
Bare your soul deep in mine
Walk me with, let's take our time
Look deep in my eyes
And you will see
A lifetime of happiness
Of the person you made me
I need a break
To get away
Somewhere warm
Maybe to stay
Even for a week
To relax and play
This body is tired
Of working my life away
 Apr 2017 Zane Gorham
Born
We were diamonds
Riding on a carriage of dreams
that kept us going

Courageous despite smoky years
eyes on the price
believing its what we wanted

But it ain't what most people think it is
You follow it and it becomes an obsession
and you stray further from reality

You keep wanting and not living
Life becomes a dream
all you had to be was happy

Don't chase a false reality
contentment is what matters


Stuck
In a world filled with greed
and cynic beings
longing for What never was

— The End —
