Nobody Girl Poem by Lindsay King

i dont expect you to wait
while i figure myself out
while i learn what is right,
‘cause all i know is wrong
and you're already walking away
but i do not seem to mind
when love isn't forever,
it's all inevitable
‘cause when love isn't real
it's all one giant mind game

and these are the words
from this nobody girl
this nobody girl
who nobody knows
and i try to be someone
but it turns out to be nothing
i say my two cents
but it doesn't make any sense

i came here today
with some high expectations
some pseudo elations
that just turn out to be bad
'cause everyone else seems
to have it together
they can work it all out
but i can't get it right

i can't find the pieces
when i'm sitting alone
on a friday night
when friendships are worthless
when she's scared to admit
she knows me
she was supposed to be my best friend

and these are the rants
from this nobody girl
this nobody girl
who nobody wants
and i try to be perfect
or at least semi acceptable
somewhat respectable
i'm saying what’s on my mind
and it's not overly kind

i wanted to be famous,
i wanted to be somebody
i wanted my name recognized
by everybody
i wanted to be pretty
i wanted to be thin
but your patience is running thin
it's not what i wanted
no, not what i wanted
and i'm trying,
god, i am
but not even he knows this
'cause i'm not a somebody,
no, i'm just a nobody

and this was the tale
from this nobody girl,
this nobody girl
saying things nobody will hear
and i try to perfect this
but it does not matter
when you're speaking to yourself
when the silence is your only peace
