I’m Nobody! Who are You?
by Emily Dickinson
I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us -don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
… I bet there’s many a celebrity wishes he wasn’t a frog (erm ..?)
isnt’ “i’m nobody!” also the title of nuala o’faolain’s memoir? and i do believe i spelled her last name wrong.
you got the spelling right on ! see more here
i think she had a book called “are you somebody?” …
