Nothing Is Your Friend

Nothing Is Your Friend

Your life can

Feel like nothing

Until a little hope

Turns your nothing

Into a hopeful something

More or less

But a hopeful something

Is like a tunnel

Teasing you

With a light

Just out of reach

Wishing you were 

Closer to the end

And a light

That's in the distance

Can quickly fade

Back to nothing

When there's an

Unexpected bend

But say 

You think that 

Nothing is your friend

Then the light

Will live inside you

Not waiting out ahead

And it won't be 

Back behind

In the places

You have bin

That's why

Loneliness

Will always be

A something

If you don't 

Believe in nothing

A place where

Every Something

From a nothing 

Must begin

Then your life

Will be a something

Made of nothing 

But the best

From the moment 

You had nothing

Turned to something

More or less

Can it really be

This simple

And the answers

Still is yes

Your light

Is there inside you

Trust and it will

Guide you

If you never 

Second guess

Now you know 

The secret

That has nothing 

To do with something

When your something

Is a nothing

That has now

Become your friend
