That thing inside
that is called nothing,
have you ever experienced it?
When you look
and you don't know whether
to wish or to forget,
when you want
and you don't know whether to give up
or move on.
When the sunset
with the colors of the rainbow
smacks of night
and a starry night
tastes of rain.
When you are thinking of tomorrow
that you can call yesterday,
because you know it's the same.
Surely you've heard it before
and like a boxer knocked down,
you can't get back up.
It's that thing inside
that is called nothing.
So what?
What do you think it is?
It's nothing.
