2. Nothing Girl

They tell me, I'm too weak...

I'm shy, I'm invisible, I'm nothing.

If I'm nothing, then why does it hurt so much when they say it?

Why does my heart break, if it doesn't exist?

Maybe it's all in my head, but...

I want someone to see me today.

To hold me, to show me, I'm here.

I'm not nothing.

Maybe today the words won't become tangled with uncertainty.

Today I will not be nothing.

I'll be something.

Something, someone.

And they'll be able to see me.

And someone will tell me, I'm not weak!

I'm not nothing.

I'm me.
