#nobody
If nobody is a person who is not there Is that why no one seems to care? About the one, the nobody The side character from chapter 3? … You tell me Tell me why they are so blind As to dismiss someone so sweet and kind Tell me why I have to try To force them just to say “hi” Tell me why I am the messenger When all they have to do is hear If nobody is a person who is not there Then why can only I see them?

Nobody
fighting the disassociation hands reaching out in fog to grab something real head empty, force thought to forefront, can't stop the feeling that I'm nobody at all

Nobody
Hallways, lockers, buzzing phones— I scroll before first period and already feel behind. Perfect smiles on tiny screens, people I barely know living lives that look edited, polished, effortless. I tell myself it’s fake, that filters don’t show bad days, that their highlight reel isn’t my reality. But that doesn’t stop the weight from settling on my chest. I start measuring myself against girls who don’t even know my name— their clothes, their friends, their faces that seem made for pictures. I sit in class thinking about people I’ve never met, wondering why I can’t look like them, live like them, be as easy as they seem. I’m happy for them. I think I am. But there’s this quiet voice saying, Why not you? And suddenly I’m tired of myself— tired of my reflection, tired of my thoughts, tired of wishing I could trade places with someone who has no idea I exist. I know comparison isn’t fair. I know their shine doesn’t dim mine. But knowing and feeling are two very different things. So I walk through school with jealousy tucked into my backpack, heavy and invisible, trying to remember that I’m more than the version of me I see through a screen.

"Jealousy, Jealousy" By Dakota
I always check tomorrow's weather, so I can better plan the upcoming day, and rearrange my empty day's activities better: nobody tole me they usually get it w~rong no need to watch sports no more, cause when I do, somebody wins in the last second with a buzzer beater and so far, sports media still reports the "actual truth" about who won... Save myself three hours!!! but nobody tole me my debits ate somebody else's credits; confusing, but not my fault cause nobody tole me guess I'm a mess, but it's ok nonetheless, hehehe, yup be cause nobody tole me

nobody tole me
Zu viel Finsternis in einem dunklen Kern. Es ist nicht so einfach. Nicht so schwierig, leicht, schwer. Nicht verschwinden. Du willst nicht verschwinden. Du darfst nicht verschwinden. Ich darf nicht verschwinden. Niemandsgesicht, Niemandsgesicht Du hast es oder siehst es nicht. Eis zu brechen. Eis zu sprechen. Das Wort ist Eis in deinem Mund. Es liegt wie Eis in meinem Ohr. Translation: Too much darkness in a black core. It´s not that easy. Not so hard, light, heavy. Don´t disappear. You don´t want to disappear. You must not disappear. I must not disappear. Nobodyface, nobodyface, You have it or you don´t see it. Breaking ice. Speaking ice. The word is ice in your mouth. It is ice in my ear.

Finsternis
I'm not a somebody You would know. I'm a nobody, really. And, as a nobody, I don't win or lose, Cause nobody does a **** thing. I didn't arrive or leave, Thus nobody is here. Nobody says anything. Nobody was accused, so, Nobody admits to the act. Nobody was saved. Nobody deserved it more, Or less. Nobody spoke up, Yet nobody would shut up, So, nobody was chosen. Nobody wants to go, Yet nobody desires to stay. Nobody was blamed, And nobody got the credit. And, While it's common knowledge That everybody is born, We would be wise to remember, Nobody gets out alive.

haiku 24/9/24a
The smoke from putting out the candles Reminds me once again how no one cares How many years has it been with empty promises? Being told repeatedly how much fun my birthday will be You’re getting older we should celebrate But when it comes down to it their empty words It would be different if I didn’t see how much effort Goes into everyone else’s The smiles I see plastered by how excited they are It makes me sick; I shouldn’t complain at least they remember But do they? I’m celebrated with a cake but who’s going to tell them That I’m not much for pastries They bought one so it should count for something Until you know how each year, I stay up to bake theirs One they’ll like One they’ll enjoy Here’s to me, Happy Birthday to little Miss Nobody

Happy Birthday Little Miss Nobody
I'm going places And nowhere good Leaving the neighbourhood Of blurry faces I'm going places Misunderstood I would stay, if I could I'm changing bases A lonely path Accompanied by me and myself Let out a laugh The past, they think know hell I'm losing grasp Spiralling straight into wonderland Why didn't they hold my hand? Topsy turvy My perspectives change I hurt me Fuelled by the pain Lurching, wandering, Perching, pondering On a cold, wet, porcelain throne Mixing, blending Fixing, mending Aimless, I push on, all alone.

Speakers distort static matter, Is it real? Is it a dream? There are vestiges that I'm after And they crave nicotine. I'm offered nicotine, I've never felt so alone I am nobody And nobody's home

Heart Breaker
u know i write for no one not a single eye judges or plants bias into my poetry or what i wish it could be or how i want it to be perceived i write for no one not for my mother or the old lady at the grocery store i write because if i don’t, i will bleed from the inside out or throw up my guts and love that burning from the acids in my stomach i write for no one so nothing can phase me i want criticism, i just don’t think i want to admit the genuine me i will be fatigued by the corse fingernails digging beneath my skin using me as a fix i write for no one because i write for me without the pressure of a crowd or a community it is me, the one singular being i taste the residue of the tinted pages and blow up like a puffer fish while every rabbit of my emotional baggage gets eaten by a snow fox it’s at my fingertips and i feel enough i write for no one as i write to u and that’s why it’s the most compelling thing to do

i write for no one and nobody writes for me
And yes, I am Someone. By default, I have a few names, Like: Someone Is Knocking At The Door, Someone will do that, or Old People Need Someone To Talk To.   But really I’m just Someone Else.

I'm afraid to be In my house I'm afraid to be Out of it Because there Are knocks On my door When nobody's there Because I hear people Whispering in My basement And because if I sleep Too long I know it's Gunna come back

monetize and institutionalize is the way to gain the modern prize marriage isn't affirmation of love it's a 10-grand headache as the IRS sits above funerals aren't celebrations of one's life they're ways for the fat cats to profit off your strife churches aren't for learning about god some pastors make six figures now isn't that odd? you wonder why you're in so much pain grasping at straws attempting to stay sane unclench your palms from those useless umbrellas go outside, and dance in the rain

Everyone's alive are living a life like its forever When the owner knows the expiring date laughing often like we won't cry again Buying luxuries gadget like we are brave Buying expensive rides like they are only reason Building houses like they can move it Shopping expensively, oppressively Standing to some great feet, Being notorious. Your shadow lying on the floor giving warning, 6 feet is real Your breathe is been measured by the hours of time. The steps your feet takes is been counted. Your happy moments, frustrated moments, sad moments and winning moments are noted. Your life is designated to a specific death moment Equipped with some amount of people to attend. You won't know the person bathing you, No can't know the coffin carrier, You don't know anything. Anything you own is left behind The ant on the ground has power over you. You became a friend to the sand. A very long time friend missing you. Now you know who you are Actually nobody, The breathe of God gives Life Makes us somebody. Be good and be good Give even if it is your last Be happy when you do. Help even if not returned, don't make no harm Death is not the opposite of life, but part of it.

Thin air
And when I leave, I wish to go just like I lived Don’t worry You won’t miss me You won’t remember a thing It will have zero effect on you Cuz’ all these years, I’ve been nothing to you Leaving won’t change anything— Just as I came I will leave the same Alone. Empty. Nobody

Birds of December, carrying memories of you, I don't need reminders, instead send by wings, God's angels, so I can be there with you, I'm a nobody to anybody, I'm forgotten, already gone, down on the floor, face down, crying out to the Lord, to make their reality the truth, I'm a nobody to everybody, in this place, beggin' you Lord to take me soon, no need to end this with, 'amen', because it won't end, until the Faithful Amen sends me through.

Birds of December (Part 1)
I’ve always struggled with feeling like I don’t belong anywhere. That I’m taking up space in a room; I’m only there because of the person I’m with, nobody cares about my presence. Everyone feels like a stranger to me just a bit. When I’m low I don’t have anyone to bring me up because nobody knows how to. The third wheel, tagalong who always shows up late and leaves early.
