A Lost Dream
I’m nothing.
I know I’m nothing, because I came into nothing, from nothing.
I was born here, left here, and I am alone.
This place is not a place. It is simply darkness, and I have grown used to it.
Perhaps, there is a ground. I don’t know. It all just seems cold, to me.
Probably the worst part about being nothing is that I see everything.
It’s like I’m behind a one-way mirror, looking out into the world.
People are happy. Some are sad. I cannot feel these things. I can only pretend to feel them, because I am never there.
I am just an empty shell of someone I do not know, someone I cannot see.
I am a vessel, a corpse.
I am never needed and never called.
Nobody wants me, so nobody has me.
One day, I hope to be something, maybe even someone. I will feel the earth between wiggling toes and have a voice to sing with. I will have something to sing about. I will have a family that loves me more than anything.
But, right now, I am nothing.
I am nothing until someone chooses to make me into something real.
I am simply one of the lost, forgotten dreams.
And I have no hope.
Until you give it to me.
