as i sit on the sunbaked bricks
my mind wanders back to what you said.
"you're rude,you haven't changed, nobody likes you, you are insignificant,
you are nothing."
It's not true. It can't be.
If i am nothing, why do i hear the applause of hundreds of crisp leaves in the wind?
are they clapping for me? or am i nothing?
If i am nothing, why do i feel the gentle wind caressing my face?
is it touching me? or am i nothing?
If i am nothing, why do i hear the birds crooning sweet symphonies?
are they singing for me? or am i nothing?
Is the gray cloudy sky crying heavy tears for me?
Or am i nothing?

DO NOT EVER LET ANYONE DEFINE YOUR LIFE WITH A SINGLE WORD. you are not a word.
