Nothing... I Am No More

overcoming Narcissism

To be told you're nothing

Is to believe you're nothing

To believe you're nothing

Is to become nothing

 

I was always nothing

To believe the false reality of twisted words

Is to become the false reality of twisted words

I became nothing

 

I adopted a twisted mind

On unsteady feet

My mirrors were cracked

And my vision blurred

I ran in many directions

On paths like tightrope

And in every direction I ran

I fell

 

The pain from all my bruises

Is in my blood

Thick and potent

In my head and my heart

It clears my vision

And steadies my feet

I can no longer be nothing

 

I became pain

I became strength

I became love

What I am to someone else

Is not what I am to me

I am my own hero

 

Don't speak to me today

I cannot hear anymore

I no longer have to run

Today I can walk away
