The Nobody

They never listened

Not once

Although I had answers

To the questions they asked

They didn't listen

A fading face

One you can never place

I'm the nobody

I don't speak

Why should I?

They never listen

Everyone's almost gone

Except for me

They should have asked

I would have said

Now they're fed

All the hungry beasts

With sharp, sharp teeth

All the people

Who never listened

Should have

Just this once,

They should have listened

To me

I'm the nobody

Not because I have nothing to say

But because no one listened

They didn't even know my name

In the end though, it was the same

Because no one will listen to a face without a name

Who's four feet under

I'm the nobody

You could have been nobody too

But you weren't

I'm nothing

There is nobody

I'm alone
