Nothing is everything
Don’t talk about your sorrows
There is no one to listen
Just say you’re happy
Happy with nothing
Happy for your empty hands
Happy for your dead tired feet
Walking and walking
Looking for a shade
Healing your blisters
Blisters on your hands
On your feet
On your soul.
Just tell them, you are happy
People aren’t careless
But don’t have patient
For more sorrow
They are full
Full of nothing
And nothing is everything .
