the nobody.

I wrote this merely as word play, but my teachers sent me to counseling because of it.

Nobody thinks of him.
Nobody wonders of him
Nobody cares for him
Nobody wants to know him
He is a nobody,
Stuck in a hopeless world
That is so nearsighted.

Actually, you get used to it
After a few years:
    The Faces
    The fists
    The tears
    The insults-
Oh, how they are generous!
Even his family gives freely!
They give it all to nobody,
And it is never shared.

Nobody wants to be nice.
Nobody wants some advice.
Nobody wants a new friend.
But nobody wants a nobody around
To talk to, to learn from,
To teach things, to feel for…

And now nobody thinks,
Because nobody is around,
That nobody deserves
What nobody gets.

He is just a nobody
In a nearsighted world
That only looks on the surface
And ignores the wonders
That are dying deep below.

He is a pathetic
Stupid little nobody
Who was sentenced to Life
In this self-centered world
But is now on Death Row
And is guilty of nothing-

Guilty of nothing.
Somewhat fitting for a nobody
