The Meaning of Nothing by Laurie Molloy


The Meaning of Nothing

all the things unsaid mean more
than words spoken a thousand times-
the word left unheard 
spooks the regretful a thousand times more
than the word misspoken.

the meaning of nothing is greater 
than everything-
don’t let nothing in,
always be something,
do something
live!

say what you think-
do what you feel-

don’t let regret spook you,
speak to the ones you love.

if someone says,
"what’s the matter?"
don’t say

“nothing.”
