A Nobody

I hang onto every word you say,
I look at your receding back,
I hold the hope,
That one day you will notice me,
For more than what I am,
A nobody.

A loner in the crowd,
I am the person who sits alone during lunch,
An outcast,
I am the person who has the crush on the person who will never notice her.
An outsider,
I am the one who is always on the outside, looking in.
A nobody,
I am, and that is the way it is always going to be.

In many ways, I don’t want it to change,
I don’t want to go through the false pleasantries ,
I don’t want to kiss cheeks with the people who always mocked me,
Who always made me feel like shit,
No, I would not like that...
I am happy being who I am, a nobody,
But I wish that you would see, just once in my life...

I wish you could see the love in my eyes,
I wish you could hear the beating of my heart,
I am sure everyone can see this,
And they are laughing at me,
I think you would be too....
But that doesn’t matter to me,
Because I love you.

Loner, I am ,loner I will always be.
This is my fate, my role in life.
I have accepted this,
That I will live a boring life,
Marry to some boring old man who has a lot of money and adores me for my brains,
I just wish that for once,
You would notice me,
And give me a sample,
Of what it is like to live on the wild side...

But then why would you do that?
Especially for a loner,
A nobody?
