Nothing by Angela Law

I am disintegrating into nothing
Not even a shell of what I was
And yet my mind echoes, there must be something
Something here I can grasp to and understand.
Something that will provide the spark and will take a stand
To walk proudly to say for this is who I am today.

Yet as those thoughts and feelings echo through my mind
There is no trace
There is not even a spark
Everything has been erased

Molecule by molecule it has been destroyed
And now my mind wonders what will be employed
From this moment it wants to race
It wants and need something to be in its face
To fill the emptiness it feels inside.

Yet knowing full well it can not longer run and hide
Behind the busy eyes and face.
The addiction to figure out what is truly real
The addiction to claim and say this is who I am with such zeal.
It has all been erased
