We Are Nothing -

My lungs burn with each breath

The yellow air of the city

crawls through my window

I pull my blanket over my head

Not wanting to see

the faceless ghosts outside

I want to silence their voices

only lies drain from their mouths

They are nothing

Nothing more than piles of ash

lost in the wind

There is no light in their hollow lives

They strive with their empty hopes

towards an endless decay

There is no salvation

and one day their minds will shatter

into fragments of despondency and regret

They are nothing

And you have nothing

And you are nothing
