NOBODY

A nobody and nothing.
Was that me?
Confused.
In a family, but alone.

Wanted?
I don’t know.

Valued?
Not really.

Loved?
Not so you might notice.
Just the last number in a sequence.
The other numbers ignored me.
Surrounded, yet isolated.

Cushioned, or blocked, from the world?
I couldn’t tell.
Hindsight always perfect.
I wasn’t naïve.
I was kept ignorant.
People were objects.
Relationships a myth.

I was a nobody and nothing.
Treat me thus and reap the whirlwind.
