Hey everyone!

For today’s letter, I decided to write a poem using the word nothing. I let my mind wondered and ended up writing a poem about Miraculous Ladybug. I already wrote a post about the show, but I guess my love for the fandom is too deeply ingrained. I’m not that satisfied with my poem as the structure seems off to me. I did my best though. I may come back to this one and make it longer.

the smoke drifts away from the palo santo
like a friendship that never recovered
from the distance
like the love unrequited
between best friends

cleansing the room around you
from negatively
from hardships
from what could’ve beens
but the scent of the forest

can’t cleanse you
the thundering in your ears
as your heart broke
as they turn away
blonde hair glistening in the sun

apologies on the tip of their tongue
centered on another blue eyed girl
stained red and black and-
nothing hurt more than realizing
that you were second place

to an idea
to a persona
to a secret identity
that is still you
nothing changed

only a suit
and a mask
your strengths
your weaknesses
are still the same

but they are eclipsed
by her heroics
leaping and bounding over the tallest buildings
impossibles feats with a yoyo
that can easily be recreated

because you’re still her
still the one behind the suit
only
he doesn’t see her
in you

you’re nothing
compared to yourself
