Nothing in Nothing

Stand aside and let words dissolve in water.
Back up and lean against walls made of nothing,
and fall forever and not even care.

For every step forward,
you are actually not walking at all.
If you are walking forward you are falling,
and if you back up you dissolve.

For now stay still and take in
all of life's rarest sweetest things.
Because it is okay not to understand,
as long as you just are.

There's a phrase that's been tumbling through my head for the past six or seven month that has really been effecting the way I write. "They're just words." I feel like it keeps me honest. It makes me realize that there is nothing I can say or write that will really mean anything to anybody because it will always just be what it means to them. I guess that to me, that means that everything I ever do will ever mean anything. Don't take that negatively. It's actually liberating to think of. What I write will simply be what I write and how it's read will just mean how it's read.
