Whats the point in talking
when you have nothing to say?
when your cry for hope
Is swept away
In an endless sea of gray
when nothing is worth the effort
of trying to stay awake
whats the point of talking
When you have nothing to say?

I loved the book speak. It made me cry and I have introduced it to so many people, and they thought it was great too. And i loved the poem also because just this morning i was talking about not having any motivation and no reason to do anything and feeling alone and sad, so thank you for this poem.

Sometimes I feel the exact same way. That I have nothing to say.
