Nothing

I fear nothing
 

Not as in I am fearless,

but as in 

I fear it

It’s truly incomprehensible,

it can’t be imagined,

and we’re stuck with the thought of 

thinking about nothing
 

No space in the world contains nothing

Even the blank space we can’t see

is filled with chemicals and particles

So it may be silly

but I fear the sight of nothing because

it doesn’t exist

The universe has no defined end,

 so what comes after it?


 

Maybe after we die, there's

nothing

Maybe that’s what I fear

I’ll never be sure 

because I am right here

Even so, we are just matter, 

never can be destroyed

Even if our planet 

goes to shambles,

we’ll still matter

Maybe someday I’ll be a star

watching over

Maybe someday we will rearrange

into something better

Maybe those we lost

turned into the flowers

in the front yards that bloom

every spring

Maybe I just have to accept

the nonexistence 

of nothing

There’s nothing for me to fear if

    Why did you have to hurt us?

    Again?

    Again?

    ‘Cause when I was young

    there was a chance

    a chance

    to be free

    a chance to see a woman be

    something new and

    different

    I have a plan

    I am

    I am

    I’m running so fast

    going nowhere

    just going

    forever

    I won’t stop to catch my breath

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    going

    I know

    pitiful laughs and lies

    and joys and cries

    and love and skies

    that are most breathtakingly

    blue


     

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
