So what’s so important about it
that everyone wants it so
something so fleeting
that everyone hangs on
for all it’s worth

What is it worth
that time pecks away
like a bird to a tree
forever beating its beak
against its trunk

Is it worth
the toil
that we must face
throughout our days

The things
we must see
the things
we must do
just to continue

When it is done
what can you say
when you are done

Do you give a list
numbering
what you have done

Do you find yourself
when you look
upon your list
that only one word
comes to mind
Nothing?

With what we are given
is that all
we have to show
Nothing?
With all we can do
the things
that are about
is Nothing
all we can do

If that’s the answer
you receive
maybe that’s all
you should
all we really deserve
Nothing
Nothing at all

So maybe
you should
just let it end
because
in the end
that’s all it worth
to you
Nothing
Nothing at all

When I was younger, I felt like this... If that even makes since.
I thought that I was a burden upon existents, because I wasn't good at anything.
But, I took up photography after my great great grandma, and now when I look at my list of things, I'll see that I at least did something with my life.
