if someone would ask

“What’s wrong?”

I’d tell them

“Nothing!”

there’s Nothing wrong with me

just Nothing

so much Nothing

it’s everywhere

if I look for a smile

I find

Nothing

if I look for joy

I find

Nothing

if I look for a hand

I find

Nothing

if I look for help

I find

Nothing

no matter where I look

inside or outside

I always find

Nothing
