Nobody At All

Nobody At All

A Poem by Karissa A. Kelly
"

Nonsense I scribbled to test my rhyming abilities.

"

I am nobody

nobody at all

My name is not the one

you first would call

My picture is not hung 

on any important one’s wall

I am not famous

inducted into any hall

I don't have a face

you’d easily recall

As you’d simply walk right

past me in the shopping mall.


I am nobody

nobody at all

I leave no impression 

my footprint is small

I serve no real purpose

as I have no thrall

I approach life

at a slow-paced crawl

I don’t make pretty work

I merely just scrawl

I am who you brush off 

when conducting a trawl

My voice is boring

I talk in a drawl

I keep to myself

and I do not appall

I have no opinions

and I have no gall

I take no action

for I simply stall

Let me state again

if you can’t already recall

I am just Nobody

Nobody at all.
