The darkness is my void,

My void is nothing,

The nothing is me,

Me? I am nothing. Why?

Because no one or thing can love nothing....

And yet you all hold out your hands to help me.

Why? Why help nothing do something?

When nothing can only do nothing?

You speak with such calm words,

Why show a heart that no one will care for? Why show me your heart? When I am nothing? I can not care!

You say I'm someone! Something! How could nothing ever be something!

The answer is it can't! I can't be something if I'm nothing!

Yet what you say is so true... I am someone... But I am someone who could never be something of use to anyone...

Wait! What are you doing?!

I feel something in my void of nothing...

A beat, a crack, and a snap...

My heart starts to cry, yet I cry instead. Tears of sorrow, fear, and happiness all mixed with my tears of salt.

You look at me with a smile and tears of joy crawl from your eyes and you hold me close. Never letting go.

Others join never letting go... They have never let go... And I don't want them to... If they do then I will be nothing again...

I never want to be nothing again...

So I hold onto them with all of my heart...

I will never let go...

Never...
