Nothing

Can you feel it sometimes? This feeling that goes and comes That always hangs at the peripheries Waiting quietly in the shadows Have you met it this feeling called nothing. It’s like touching a live wire and not reacting Like getting stabbed and not bleeding Like falling but still standing Like laughing when you trying to cry Have you met it this feeling called nothing. It can be friend and it can be foe When you are down it keeps you centered When you are breaking and falling It tricks your mind telling you it’s all right Then you get to stand when all is falling around you. Don’t applaud yet if you have never seen it Coz when its there your happiness won’t be complete It hovers in the shadows reminding you Whispering all that could go wrong So your lips freeze before That smile hits your eyes, before that warmth thaws your heat It’s nothing yet its everything.
