'Nothing Is Nothing'
By: Rey Jorca Supranes

There is nothing in nothing.
Nothing is surrender;
Nothing is void;
Nothing breathes if you let it be.

There is nothing in nothing.
Nothing is felt after a terrible loss;
Nothing is absorbed after an embarrassing defeat;
Nothing lingers and torments as long as you let it be.

There is nothing in nothing.
Nothing is the road so easy to take;
And yet there are so many potholes;
Damaging tires of value and significance;
Nothing disables the determination to keep going if you let it be.

There is nothing in nothing.
Nothing is a blanket that covers the shivering soul of the down-and-outer;
Nothing warms the feeling of lack of interest;
Nothing lets you sleep in hopelessness if you let it be.

There is nothing in nothing
If you make yourself into something
Important and worthwhile.

There is nothing in nothing
If you let it be.
