untitled (suggestions please)

Once there was a girl
who was given a simple assignment
"define nothingness"
and she was
to perform this assignment
as accurately creatively as possible

and so she wrote
"nothingness
is an endless blackness"
but then realized
blackness being something,
couldnt possibly be nothing.

and so she started again
"nothingness is something
people fear"
and then quickly
realized that it wasnt the fear of nothing
that most people feared,
but the unknown aspect of nothing
and while unknown, unknown is SOMETHING
and therefore couldnt be nothing.

she tried again again again
"nothingness is...
nothingness is..
nothingness is...."

until finally,
she knew what she was doing
wrong.
quickly she wrote,
"nothingness isn't"

and failed the assignment.

FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!! PLEASE DONT TREAT THIS POEM LIKE NOTHING!!!!

  1. THIS IS AN AMAZING POEM AND THE GIRL SHOULD HAVE ACED IT! WTF NONEXISTANT TEACHER!! DX< Thats a really cool fact though, and it seems to be a focal point for the poem so I'm not asking you to change it

    As for a title..... Maybe something to do with realizations or maybe a higher intelligence then others? If that sounds to deep and complex then maybe just a nonchalant reference an aspect of something in the poem
