Miss Nobody (9/14/07) Poem by Melissa Leddy

I'm tired of people seeing 'potential' in me
I want them to see the beauty in me
I'm sick of being seen as a nobody
I want everyone to see that I'm a somebody
But how can that happen

When I have no beauty- Miss Nobody
I have no beauty to anybody
I have no beauty- Miss Nobody
I'm not noticed by anybody.

I'm annoyed by people better than me
I want their strength in clarity
I'm bothered by all girls- they're all prettier than me
Because everyone is better than me
I can never prove them wrong.

Because I have nobody- Miss Nobody
I have nobody to anybody
I have no beauty- Miss Nobody
I'll never be noticed by anybody.
