My name is Nobody

For that's who I am

And who I will always be

In their eyes

Unseeing, unfeeling, souless

I feel their habitual antipathy

For when they look

They see not a person

But a horrid, vile monster

The image they have created

The curse they have laid

Which I pray escape from under

Immense is it's figure

In it's proportions

In this small childs eyes

What I had done

Ever to deserve

This horrid, dread surprise

I do not know

But I shall

Do all I can in order

To hide my sorrow

And gain on the morrow

Respect and love to follow
