Nobody
Nobody loves me, nobody cares, Nobody picks me peaches and pears. Nobody offers me candy and Cokes, Nobody listens and laughs at me jokes. Nobody helps when I get into a fight, Nobody does all my homework at night. Nobody misses me, Nobody cries, Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy. So, if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz, I'll stand up and tell you NOBODY is! But yesterday night I got quite a scare I woke up and Nobody just WASN'T there! I called out and reached for Nobody's hand, In the darkness where Nobody usually stands, Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook, But I found SOMEBODY each place that I looked. I seached till I'm tired, and now with the dawn, There's no doubt about it- NOBODY'S GONE!!
Nobody - meaning Summary
Loneliness with a Twist
A playful, ironic poem about friendship and loneliness told in a child's voice. The speaker insists that "Nobody" is their only friend, listing ways Nobody cares for them, then panics when Nobody disappears. The twist compresses loneliness and companionship into a wordplay: the absence of "Nobody" reveals real isolation and loss. Tone mixes humor and gentle pathos, making a simple point about dependence and the fear of being truly alone.
