I am Nobody

I am nobody

And nobody is everyone

Who is to say that I am somebody besides me?

Or that I’m not



Somebody can be anybody

And anybody can be somebody

Nobody can be somebody

And somebody can be nobody



Somebody can be like a lamp

Motionless, unseen until they want to

Sitting quietly in the corner

Silent, sensual, seamlessly sitting, staring at the world



They are cold and distant, dark and hard

Not soft to the touch but cold porcelain

Breakable if handled to rough

But sturdy enough to sit on the counter by itself



No sound, no movement

Only the soft hum of existence

A faint smell of lilacs

Slinking silently around the room



Someone who thinks they are nobody

Thinks this way by choice

They may really be somebody to someone

Just not to themselves



Unseen

Untouched

Unmoved

Unnoticed
