I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

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 would 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!

You might even be the desire of the young student who bunks his school to play cricket or the torment of his teacher who tells him not to. Sometimes, it all feels like an illusion, something that we hold on to just because of our instinctive need to be with someone, but then my heart pounds against my chest, almost breaking my ribs, reminding me of a peace it h...

Will You?

   Will You? I latched on to a broken twig To hold myself from falling      When i was pushed by a lovely fig Dreams with whom compelling                                                                                      I knew it from the first day though No matter what am not her type Not caring the heart starts jumping slow Regardless of the brains hype We met someday, a heavenly place She recognized, i felt am high I asked bout her life n friends She roasted everyone on sight The apocalypse passed in silence We never met nor shared a word Your thoughts flew without licence Like some pretty little bird Then day thee came, Finally We met again me overjoyed I spent the day looking at you From a blindspot of y...
