Nobody by: me

Don't ask me, I'm Nobody
I have no real authority
I thought that I could be Somebody
But all I am is Nobody

There was a time that some would say
I'd raise some hell back in the day
But anymore, it should be said
That "he" is gone, "he" is dead.

How did things change, it should've never
But now that boy is gone forever.
Happy - go - lucky I used to be
But now I am just Nobody

Nowhere man, with nowhere plans
It's all I'm made to understand
For so long now it's how I've felt
When your down this long...
you know nothing else.

I've worked so hard to make a name
(I wish that some would feel the same)
But I've been stripped of my identity
And made to feel like Nobody.


Author's note: After spending 15 years in the same location with my employer, I felt the need to transfer to another location in an effort to move up the "corporate ladder." In the summer of 2002, I was working in a location that was so full of negativity, it rubbed off on me. This move was s'posed to be a positive step towards the future, but in the end, was anything but. After a year and a half, I found my way back to my original location, and have been here ever since. (Not counting the fact that the next time I would move, which would be the spring of 2008, the whole house moved with me...but that's a story for another blog) ;?)
