How It Feels To "Be" Nothing.

After holding a conversation like you hold your liquor,

I realize that I am nothing,

Just an empty silhouette that stands before you,

I write this for my own self-fulfillment,

Break my bones and I will feel the same,

These days I feel like something on a string,

The way you parade me around and call me every name but my own,

I've got a lot of nothing, if I ever had anything.
