A Naught

What it feels when you are a zero!

Sometimes tears roll out,
For unknown reasons,
And I look at my closed fist,
Where my blood boils,
 
All my years plain laziness,
No happiness I served,
Bringing myself to numbness,
Higher motives I set but the small things left unfinished,
 
I set out to describe myself,
And I have to look for words of praise,
But I couldn't satisfy my real self,
For everything seemed false,
 
Simply mumbling something,
To escape the reality with no light,
The fears kept chasing,
Telling me the truth of me being a naught.

I liked the honest tone and the directness of the words.
"Simply mumbling something,
To escape the reality with no light,
The fears kept chasing,
Telling me the truth of me being a naught."
The above lines are amazing. Made the reader feel the want to run and having no place to go. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

There are a couple of lines I have questions about, (All my years plain laziness) this sentence doesn't really explain its self, so what do you mean by 'plain laziness"?
In this sentence (I set out to describe myself) rather than describe did you mean define yourself?
Soul searching is a great topic to write about as every writer does it many times in their live, and it is always informative it reading how others do it and the conclusions they come up with. Well done my friend :~)

Thank you so much my dear friend! I was offline for a few days so I couldn't reply. By laziness I meant that I was lazy all my life. Yes, to define myself.

Thank you so much! :)

I was looking at the plain laziness sentence as you had it and it seemed incomplete as you have it, consider one of these and see how it sound to you. All my years, plain laziness or All my years of plain laziness

Years of sounds right. I'll edit that part. How's u by the way? Our holidays have just started. I have just penned down a poem, need to post it now.
