I'M Nobody! Who Are You? Poem by Emily Dickinson

It's just between us girls...

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!

She knew full well she was somebody...

A powerful poem with a meaningful message. Timeless!

Humble personal assessment of oneself does not diminish ones relevance
