The nobody parade

in the nobody parade
nobody laughs
nobody cheers

every day is a nobody parade, in the life of a nobody

then one day the nobody parade collided with
the somebody parade
somebody called
and nobody looked and saw
he was no longer a nobody

so since that day, every one laughs
and everyone cheers
at the somebody parade
where everybody is somebody

ugh, bad poem, but still

Wow. I know not all your poems aren’t to your satisfaction, but I think you’ve discovered a gift.

Yeah i agree, you’ve got a knack with the words. You should definitely read some good literature, like Oscar Wilde, Charlotte Bronte, poetry by John Keats.

Read early and im sure you’ll appreciate you did later in life with your talent
