when we were nothing we had it all

The lines you provided—"when we were nothing we had it all"—express a poignant paradox about finding richness or completeness in moments of emptiness or simplicity. It suggests that in times when one felt like "nothing," there was actually a sense of having "it all," possibly meaning freedom, potential, or inner peace. Would you like me to help you turn this into a poem or expand on its meaning?
