Would ‘’My parents arrived here without anything’’ be correct?

I don’t know, but:

“My parents arrived here without anything, not knowing anybody, not having a dime in their pockets… for me to be a wallflower.”

isn’t as poetic as and doesn’t flow nearly as well as:

“My parents didn’t come here with nothing, not knowing anybody, not having a dime in their pockets… for me to be a wallflower.”
