Im just a Nobody

June 4, 2012

I'm just the one in the back row,
I'm the one you see everyday,
But you don't even know my name.
Why doesn't anyone see who I am?
I guess its just because...

I'm a nobody!
Got no friends or family,
A nobody!
I'm by myself,
A nobody,
I don't need no one else,
Cause I'm a nobody, and you can tell.

My heart no longer beats the way it should,
The shadows ever cease their insistent screams.
How can I sleep at night when my sins await me at the door?
I guess I'll just have to deal with it, because...

I'm a nobody!
Got no friends or family,
A nobody!
I'm by myself,
A nobody,
I don't need no one else,
Cause I'm a nobody, and you can tell.

How many times have I wished,
That my nightmares would end?
Or that I would stop being alone.
Or maybe that my demons would,
just sleep.
But of course no one cares.

I'm a nobody!
Got no friends or family,
A nobody!
I'm by myself,
A nobody,
I don't need no one else,
Cause I'm a nobody, and you can tell.
That I am a nobody that has nothin else.

Emily Dickinson said, "I am nobody, who are you? are you nobody too?.... How dreary to be somebody" Whenever I think like this I just say all my blessings aloud, and it really helps a lot. I am somebody, even though I'm that sad looking girl in the corner writing a poem. Keep looking up, loved the poem ^_^
