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!
a poem by Emily Dickinson that we did in school about four years ago. I think it's a very nice poem, being simple at the same time. I just felt like sharing this with you, and perhaps when reading it you might find a little bit of yourself in there, where i keep losing mine.
