Nothing

Nothing

A Poem by Day

Lesson after lesson has taught me nothing.
I know nothing.
I try learning and arrive at nothing.
The more you feed me truths, the less I believe
The more I know nothing.
From experience, I've learned nothing.
I'm still making the same mistakes.
In your eyes, I see nothing.
You all know that trick, the one that makes
You all look the same.
Deep inside you, there is nothing.
You don't resonate. You are not permanent,
You change,
You waver.
Instability.
Inconsistency.
Your inconsistency makes me anxious.
It turns me into you, inconsistent.
Not trustworthy
Helpless and lost
And heartbroken and sad
But happy to be mad.
Happy to be in a desperate nightmare
Hoping to get out but fighting to stay in.
So lost, i'm a whole new being
And whoever I was is deeply rooted beneath the earth
Deeply unmoved, deeply becoming nothing.
Numb.
To the point where I don't know what it means anymore
And I don't care
I don't care what any of it means
Maybe that's what it means.
Numb.
And i'm wondering if time will drag me back.
If my eyes will open wide and the filthy dirt 
Will settle around them and when I blink, it will sting,
Sting so much that  it burns. 
And maybe i'll go blind.
And maybe i'll just lay there,
Blind,
Dirty,
Suffocated
Maybe knowing
Something.
