My name is nobody
My name is somebody
My name is everybody.

Who is awesome.
Well, everybody is awesome.
But I’m somebody, and I don’t think I have all the awesome.
And I’m nobody, and I think that awesome escapes me.

Who can do it?
Everybody could not do it.
And we can’t accept that nobody could do it
Because that would be an excuse.
So we will call on somebody.
Well, I am somebody.

But now they are asking
Whose fault this is?
It cannot be everybody’s fault.
Even though I scream I am everybody.
It has to be somebody’s fault.
I whisper I am somebody.
Maybe
Just Maybe
What happened was nobody’s fault.
And I smile
Because I have been telling you all this time
I am nobody.
