Poem: Nothingness

Nothingness

By: Joi Maree Flowers

Numb of love

Existing in life

Deprived of will power

A few reasons as to why

Rejection

Neglected

Forgotten

Shunned

By peers and enemies

Those names who have stopped calling hers

Left alone in darkness

Entrapped between four walls

Aging without growing

Blank pages of a story

Enough of nothing

Less of something

When the purpose of being

Should alone fill her cup to full

Yet her well is dry

And their is no reserved supply

She could be more

If only she desired to be

Better than her limitations

Greater than her agony

If only she saw herself

As being

More than the taunts

Of those haunted voices

A greater purpose

A greater power

She could rise into her light

To become

Something more

Than her black of

Nothing
