I Have Nothing Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes

I have nothing, yet I have everything
In this world filled with material things
But what truly matters, is what lies within
The depths of my soul, where true treasures begin
No bags of gold or fancy jewels
Can compare to the beauty of what I hold
For I have love, and that's worth more
Than any riches or riches untold
I have nothing, but I have the sky
With its endless expanse, stretching high
I have the rain, and the warmth of the sun
Nature's gifts, forever on the run
I have nothing, but I have my voice
To speak my truth, to make my own choice
I have my thoughts, my dreams, my art
A mind full of wonders, a beating heart
I have nothing, but I have my friends
A bond that time and distance transcends
They lift me up when I am down
With them, I have everything, nothing to frown
I have nothing, yet I am content
For what I lack, is not what I resent
For I am rich in all that truly matters
Love, laughter, and endless adventures
So I embrace my nothingness
For it is in this void, I find true bliss
For I have nothing, but I have it all
In this beautiful life, I stand tall.
Fierce, bold, constant, sound, unified and all.
