Dear Nobody,
hope your life is better than mine.
I hope you've been having a good time.
A better time than me.

Dear Nobody,
am I a nobody too?
am I just like you?
or am I different.

Dear Nobody,
I shouldn't feel this way.
Living just for today,
and never tomorrow.

Dear Nobody,
Can you save me now?
Find a way somehow,
to make it go away.

Dear Nobody,
am I a nobody too?
Am I just like you?
or am I a somebody?

Dear Nobody,
I feel like somebody,
when I'm with another somebody,
and his name's Justin.

Dear Nobody,
he's the very best one,
he makes life so much fun,
and I love him too.

Dear Nobody,
he's the one I love,
and I won't give up,
until he tells me to.

Dear Nobody,
am I a nobody too?
am I just like you?
Or am I different b/c of him?

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself. That's what I live by.

This was an interesting poem. I think I would have liked it better if you had changed "Dear Nobody" to something else, but other than that, it was a good poem.

i thought this was fine. Not the best from you but nonetheless a good read.

Thanks ya all.

Actually, Nick, I'm sittin here right now w/ my purse and my picture and a letter he wrote me when we were together. I never leave home without that letter, and I usually don't leave home without that picture. He doesn't know that though. He doesn't know that I carry his picture around in my purse. I wonder what he would say. He always has something to say. Today, he calls me GhettoGirl2001. It varies from day to day.

I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem.

I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.

I really like this, Allysa! This reminded me of Emily Dickinson's poem "I am Nobody, what are you?" And it also reminded me of a quote: "Nobody's perfect... I'm nobody, therefore, I am perfect". Hehe.. I enjoyed this. Nicely done!
