Reflections on Nothing

Have you ever felt like you really had something to say but nothing seems to come out? Like your thoughts cannot align themselves to figure out which words to say first if any at all. How do you know what to say when something sad happens, to you, to a friend, to someone on the other side of the bar? Do you ever feel like you are lost in a waste land and nothing seems alive around you? Like everything has given up waiting for the rain? Then do you think that you would really rather be in that dessert because the world you are in seems so cold, that if you were in the desert you might come across some beduins and you could make a new life with them? And that even though it would be a terribly hard life it would at least be warmer. Have you ever felt interminably lonely that you are just going to have to buck it up and keep your chin high for the rest of your life and no matter how badly you want to you won't be able to let yourself fall apart because if you do there will be no one there to catch you. But you have to keep hoping I guess that someday that someone will come along.
