This poem really gives you the outsider's point of view. I love her similes, too! It's true-if you admit that you''re nobody, people really will mark you for it. It's a terrible truth, but I love her mindset in this poem; that she's Nobody, but she thinks that it would be 'dreary to be Somebody! ' By the way, Emily-I'm Nobody too! :)

I think this is one of the very few timeless poems that in very few lines capture a really big point and deliver the message...
Her fascination with remaining unique and not wanting to blend into the society (bog) is still very much applicable now...
Great piece by a Great Poet! !

There was two ways I believe that she wrote this...
the way above and this way...
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
