I am nobody

I am nobody. 

Don't feel or show anybody. 

You don't know me. 

You can't see my eyes. 

You can't see that my soul is not inside. 

A shadow of a fragment of a light that is gone. 

I am nobody. 

You don't know love. 

You don't know family is blood. 

You don't know why you were made. 

Cast in the shadow with a blade. 

I am nobody. 

You didn't try at all. 

You feared your mind would stall. 

You were stuck in time with no place to go. 

Limbo didn't have better words to describe. 

I am nobody. 

You hurt so much. 

You didn't know Invisible wounds would bleed. 

You didn't forget that I had more than three. 

You couldn't just see because no one was there. 

To ask what do you need. 

I am nobody. 

Please forget that you ever knew me. 

Please never bring back the memories through me.

I want to forget that I even grew up.

That my mind would just turn off. 

And poof the pain is gone. 

I am nobody. 

I am nobody. 

I am nobody

No body?

In order to be "nobody" you have to have no body.

Therefore saying that you are "nobody" is a lie,

but ultimately in my opinion we should strive to 

be nobodies, because we have placed to much

emphasis on it, it distracts us from our true selves.

we are trapped in the material reality of the body,

therefore some of us want to be free of this material reality

by becoming nobodies in a metaphorical sense.

Depending on which definition

Depending on which definition you use for the word nobody is up for interpretation, but it does not make it a lie. If you believe we should be a less materialistic world because it hurts us from are true self go right ahead. in my opinion all realities are valid whether you agree with them or not.
