Nicole Sharon Brown Poet Rhyme

I'M Somebody

I’m somebody.
I just can’t go back,
To being a nobody.
God does not want,
That for me,
Or my family.
He wants us to live,
As royalty,
In His will,
To help kill ,
The distress ,
And the mess,
That the world,
Puts on us,
To pray out of,
Disgust.

I’m somebody,
And I want not,
To be selfish,
Like some people,
I know,
Who are not awakened,
To the harvest.
I want to be,
One of the laborers,
Part of the few,
Because I’m somebody,
And I want to let, 
Someone else know,
That he or she,
Is somebody too.

Carolyn Devonshire March 25, 2010 at 8:15 AM There's an amazing spirit of resiliency in this poem, Nicole. Have you ever read "I'm Nobody" by Emily Dickinson? Her poem was filled with self pity, while yours is graced by optimism and self worth. Very nice! Love, Carolyn
