Somebody

I am somebody, yet nobody
I am a great warrior in the fight for what is right

I am somebody

You high and mighty don't see
I am nobody to you

Healing hearts is my forte
I am somebody

One month goes by and I'm nobody again

I hold it together
Those fraught with issues halt

I am somebody, yet nobody in your eyes

You are impaired.  You cannot see
all of your senses shut down

The young you see, they come to me
I am somebody

The older and supposed wiser won't be bothered
to them we are all nobody

I know I am doing what is right
I am somebody

You have a body and you move
I see you glide through space with a dark void that once was your face

I've heard you speak.  Opinions are spewed and criticism flows like a never ending rapid

My question to you is are you somebody or nobody?
