A poem I wrote for public speaking class
Nobodies
I am here, invisible to everyones eyes, Waiting solemnly for a surprise. My screams are silent, eyes are dead In the agony of words i should have said, Instead I choose to look away For fear of ending up more out of place as the moral and laurels i rose up upon Crumble away in a flash, I am gone Who am I? Nobody As well you should be too, Before shallowness and vanity take over you For in this world of somebodies who try to belong They will soon come to find themselves lost in the throng Nobodies may smile and cry with the tide, But we also may laugh while we're bleeding inside And though we're invisible, the someone's still laugh When a nobody falls to the ground with a crash And a cry and a sigh, as suns and moons whisper by Until a seed of thought plants itself: Why even try? With the mocking they do, the jeers and the yells, For No-ones to belong, we'd surely need hell To feeze like their hearts, all cold as stone making even groups of nobodies feel all alone Sometime we can't sleep at night, as the sounds of their calls Echo louder and crueler off of our inner walls And so we begin to hum silent songs To block out the someones, Drenched in the sins of their wrongs And we pray, yes, we pray Every night, every day for when the mocking and laughter would please go away And we could sit in the silence without being afraid And we could wake up to the day and say HEY! This is who I am And I don't give a damn About what you want me to do I've finally stopped listening to you Get the ******** off of me with your pokes and your prods As some of you someones call " You're a freak!" '' No! a fraud!" I'd still stand without complacency and quietly say " I've finally refused to watch thing go your way This is who I am, no more and no less If you've got a problem that's your own ******** mess!" And then i suppose i would leave in the silence i made So thick and Frightening, my steps cut through like a blade Because what could be said When what's locked in your head On your lips has been read And you're finally fed Up with the lies, up with the wrongs With the anger and fear you wished could someday be gone But mostly fed up with the hate, hate, hate, HATE! And when emptiness inside was all you had to await. Hate at yourself for not being like them And constantly letting yourself feel condemned At the hate for the somebodies, you can tell so it seems How the torment and cruelty makes me just want to scream! Fists clench tight as the nobody i am tries to be bold I can be me and be someone once the truth has been told Now I'll stop hiding from them and their stares Because I've come to realize: Who really cares? So now I'll be me and nobody else I promise to stop hiding myself And to all other nobodies just like me Cast off your chains, be proud of yourself, be free
