I'm Nobody by Emily Dickinson


I'm Nobody



This poem was one of Dickinson's first poems, and it is one of the most famous as well. When I first read this, I felt like I could kind of relate to what she was saying. "How dreary to be somebody!" Somebodys are too busy trying to circulate their names around, making sure they are known to those around them. I would rather be nobody with someone else by my side, rather than being somebody always trying to keep my name circulating around town.
