nothing.

Can I be nothing?
Can I be
evaporation;
hesitation;
deprecation;
mutilation?
Can I be something?
I'm so apologetic
in the static
for I don't understand
how all I'd planned
could be so damned
and all I am
is in the can.
Who are you?
Nothing.
Your words of
disapproval,
removal,
gone to the grave
just like you.
Can I be nothing?
Guess not,
because the other day,
he told me I'm
everything.
But that means
absolutely


nothing.
