This what has come to my mind upon reading your poem, Eddie. Everyone is a NOBODY....NOTHING....How and why? I remember my Religion Teacher in high school saying this:
This is the meaning of being a CHRISTIAN:
(Without) CHRIST IAN (I Am Nothing)
Every negative emotion that we have is normal...but it is a product of our own negative thought. This negative side of us can draw us to temptation...or will lead us to have such feelings of emptiness...that's why sometimes we feel we are nobody..or nothing.
Eddie, I'm telling these all like what have come out from my mind as I remember those high school lessons. It doesn't mean I relate it to you personally. Because like you...I am always such kind of person who lacks confidence...fearful...full of doubts...weak. I also feel I am nothing...I am a nobody.So I can fully relate to you in this piece.
Keep going.

It is a reoccurring emotion - nothingness- but Christ keeps me going through them. This poem was done during one of those weak moments. I usually try not to write during those times, because what I produce is very dark, but I slipped up this time. Thank you for reviewing it.
This is the best poem of yours I've read so far, Eddie. Full of emotions. Written from the heart, I'm sure. I can relate because I often "visit" that "darkness". It has been my home and well, it always welcomes me back like its precious child. I'm sorry to know that you have to get through this, and other people as well but I think it serves its purpose.
I adore this poem. But I hope you'll see the sunshine soon. :)
Thanks, I've had a version of this 'poem' in my mind all last week.

Eddie, I've read your recent blog and I don't know... for some reasons, my heart ached as well. I know the feeling of being rejected, or ignored... I've been through that. But sorry, I have no words of comfort (because I think I'm terrible at comforting others) but please know that I care. You have always been nice to me. You made me confident in my writing craft. You believed in me more than I do to myself, or anyone ever has. I had a constant inner struggle that made me want to stop writing and just give up. But YOU helped me get through it. I've become more reasonably proud of my little accomplishments, become more...attuned to my self-worth. I can never thank you enough for that.

You deserve to be lifted up because your skill and style shines through. You are quite good at your writing and you share your heart and soul in your work. It just reveals that you are a lovely person inside and out, regardless of whether you pick up a pen (or type on a keyboard) or don't -- either way, you should feel confident and sure of yourself. You have been blessed with charm and talent and have blessed others by sharing your words. I'm glad I was able to help you see how special and talented that you truly are. Thanks for your kind words too, I appreciate them more than you know.
