Poetry? Part 10

I Am Nothing

I am nothing
I am defined by my job
I have no job
No work at all
I sit at home
While others go to work each day
Unemployed
Unemployable?

I am nothing
I am defined by the money I make
I make no money
No money at all
My bank account is empty
While others get a check each week
Broke
Bankrupt?

I am nothing
I am defined by my marital status
I have no significant other
No one at all
My life is lonely
While others go home to someone special
Alone
Forever?

I am nothing
I am defined by my intelligence
I had average marks
Mostly B’s
My record is also average
While others scored higher than me
Common
Dumb?

I am nothing
I am defined by my tastes in life’s pleasures
I like unique things
Strange music, classic movies
While others enjoy what is popular
Strange
Unacceptable?

I am nothing
I am defined by my appearance
I am short, fat, and bald
Not popular, not good looking
While others get the attention
Ugly
Scorned?

I am nothing
I have no special talents
I am no better than anyone
The world goes on
People who don’t deserve it succeed
While I struggle with myself
Lost
Never to be found?
