I Am Nobody!

I am nobody

When my career is gone

I am nobody

When my money is gone

I am nobody

When my name is gone

I am nobody

When my body is gone

I am nobody!

I am no body?!

I am a nobody who puts some glitter on

I am a no body who I call Myself

@Uilleam Ó Ceallaigh, Thank you for your response, and I welcome your disagreement. Personally, 'nobody' is a perspective in which I want to remind people of their essence because what I see is that today's society values individuals based on material things or status. For some people, the lack of these things makes them look down on themselves. I just want to remind them that their true worth lies in who they are as a person, which I refer to as 'myself,' not in material things or status.

I would disagree Yanma.
No-one is nobody…what a sad world in which anyone should think that.
