Dearest Emily
A lyrical response to Emily Dickinson's "I'm nobody! Who are you?"
By Miranda PutneyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Dearest Emily,
Hello, I am nobody, too!
Just like you.
Perhaps they would
relate to us- too!
I do agree to be somebody
Would be
Quite dreadful
In the swamp of life
chirping all the time-
Nobody answers to nobody,
You see
I answer to me
I couldn't do that if
I was somebody
But I'm not,
I'm just me
But you see,
You are just you, too
And you do
See me,
So, let's just be
A pair of nobodies.
You and me
Miranda and Emily
