Nobody

do you smell it?
the smoke.
don't choke - swallow me whole. 
fogging up your eyelids.
blink, blink, close your eyes.
don't let me in.

am i nobody to you?
or am i everybody.
do you see me in all the faces,
every place you go.
do you hear me in the voices,
telling you to 
let.
me.
go.

am i nobody or is anyone anybody?
