Nobody
the name of the
fool
who
bullies and
sneaks under
skin
because of their
fear-driven
panic
of being
Nobody
For more of my fledgling poetry, see So Beauty Grows and Love In Ten Lines, thank you.

Thanks for the encouragement, Michelle! I’m have fun with the words, connecting them to feelings and life experience. There’s always something new…something challenging…to keep this life fresh. Have a beautiful Sunday and I’ll check out your links now…

You have so many sides to you, Angie!
I’m heading over to check out your ‘fledgling poetry.’ I write it sometimes, too. Mostly on napkins and post – it notes 🙂

Oh this was nice. I have the pleasure of being friends with several poets who have published multiple volumes. But one of my favourite poets that I think you would love is Sharon Olds. Her stuff is graphic and brutal and brilliant. And I don’t know her at all so my recommendation is no too biased.

Really like this Angie, nice work! I like Pablo Neruda’s, my favorite Sonnet: XVII.
I prefer quotes to poetry, short, concise and to the point of whatever thought, feeling or emotion you are expressing.

Thank you, friend! I, too, and really enjoy the brevity of both. And thank you for the lead. I’ll check out Sonnet: XVII ❤

Very nice, Angie. Too many have known this bully, and may not have understood the true nature of being “Nobody”. ❤ Van

I have two quotes that mean a lot to me. One is for my professional life and the other is for my personal.
Professional: Leadership is action, not position.
Personal: Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

It all comes down to responsibility. You are responsible for your reaction because that is all that one can control.

Exactly, Cllifford. Responsibility for one’s own emotions. Responsibility for understanding that our behaviors affect others. Lots of responsibility!
