I am a nobody, a mere unknown,
But within me, a future has grown.
I'm a poet, with words in my soul,
Trying to make myself, to make me whole.
I have a vision, I have a dream,
To be someone, or so it may seem.
A nobody now, but not for long,
I'll write my way, to where I belong.
With every line, with every verse,
I'll break the mold, I'll break the curse.
I'll rise up high, I'll touch the sky,
My name will be known, far and nigh.
I'll create worlds, with my pen and ink,
My ideas, my thoughts, I'll make them all think.
I'll inspire, I'll motivate, I'll ignite a spark,
In the hearts of others, who are still in the dark.
So, ask not who I am, but what I can be,
A somebody, a poet, a visionary, you'll see.
For I am a nobody, trying to be a somebody,
With my words, my dreams, and my destiny.
