Nothing
Is what I have
No gratitude or love
Nobody to share my life with
Far too much empty space within my heart
No self respect, just self hatred
My dignity is gone
What I have is...
Nothing

Congratatulations on the bronze. The last 3 lines are powerful. The hopelessness of the poem is incredible, and the picture is perfect for the poem. Great job.

Definitely a contender. Keep up the good work

A feeling I have felt many a times. An excellent rictameter
with deep sadness and anger flow. Good luck in the contest and I hope you feel better..take care. -
Deep though simplified so!!
That is a simple as one can obtain, the residue from nothing the assessment made by oneself!! Simple as that! Got to stand a chance!

Aw! Such a beautiful ending of such a sad poem. It flows well, it makes you really think, and the shortness is the sweetness in this. Thank you so much for posting it for us to read, and keep the ink flowing!
