Nothing

The light inside of me is starting to fade,

The world has drained me 

Of everything I have; I'm so afraid.

The fear inside me is starting to grow,

It's snuffing out the

Contentment and delight I have left to show.

The happiness inside of me disappears,

An overwhelming sadness takes

Over me and floods my face with many tears.

The laughter inside of me has been destroyed,

I'm without adequate physiques

And my many thoughts and feelings are all void.

The sadness inside of me is very vast,

Everyone hates me due to my

Inability to kill myself at last.

All this anguish, and yet, I feel nothing,

My mind is racing, but somehow

I'm very much empty; I don't feel a thing.

You expressed it all and in the last line you say I don't feel a thing. I loved this contrast.

This is a heartbreakingly beautiful poem. The words evoke lots of pain and sadness, especially the last stanza at the end.
