Nothing Too

30 lines · 77 words · 1 min read

a freewrite only ever costs time and a piece of selfhood.

no pounds, rupees, or yen— just introspection, and then the words appear: sudden flickers in your head, your brain, your mind.

are they the same? nothing is ever the same. no thing— not even you.

and what makes you so sure you're a thing at all?

all appearances, no forms. your thoughts, your feelings, your matter—

what's the matter? you're upset?

don't worry. that's nothing, too.

— Lilith
