Nobody’s World! Poem by Dave Tendell

Please help me…

Nobody… takes me serious.
Nobody – cares that I make it.
Nobody – sees me as a person.
Nobody – thinks I should succeed.

Everybody – never takes me serious.
Everybody – never cares that I make it.
Everybody – never sees me as a person.
Everybody – never thinks I should succeed.

Please help me…

I am a Nobody living in a world with Everybody,
Where a Nobody understands Everybody,
And Everybody don’t understand a Nobody.
Therefore, Everybody treats me as a Nobody.
