I am a pathetic distraction
A mild little shelter for any in need
I am the person who should tell no lies
I am a ghost of the build up
I am the sight of a shadow
I am one not permitted for opinion
I am one bound from the rules that have been given

I'll be invisible to any who wish me to be
I'll be deaf for all who wish to spread the words of rumors.
Ask me where i'm going
Nowhere

People can't seem to understand my existence
I get dragged by the thoughts that over think for themselves
I make complications
I make mistakes

But I will not be permitted to be labelled as a human
I am nothing
Nothing special
Nothing extraordinary

I’m the nothing that will bore you
I’m the nothing that will raise hell
I’m the nothing that wants to be someone’s  everything
I’m the nothing you’ll forget
I’m the nothing that has been taken for granted
I’m the nothing that should never be left alone
I’m the nothing filled with expectation

So I will apologize for nothing
I will regret your disappointment
In the end my real goal is to figure this out
Since this story wasn’t written for nothing was it?
