I'm a Nobody in this World

I've accomplished my mission
I've made this great person
And now no one can tell
Of the one hurting underneath it all

I'm a nobody in this world
Just a husk of a person
I've got no worth, no value
And when the tears fall
No one can see the pieces of me
The shattered bits of what was once a person

The black I wear
Is perfect for me
The blood and sweat hidden from view
And around my wrists
Are my dark bands
Just another secret

I'm a nobody in this world
Just a husk of a person
And no one can see
The secrets hidden under my shirt

The stinging sensations in the pain
That I feel deep within
Inside and outside
Marks buried in me
But nobody every sees

I'm a nobody in this world
Just a husk of a person
I've got no worth, no value
And when the tears fall
No one can seee the pieces of me
The shattered bits of what was once a person

I'm a nobody in this world
Just a hust of a person
So I'm tossed away
Into a world of nothings

Author notes

This is the first time in forever that I've actually written something poetry-wise. Actually this is kinda a song and I'm getting around to finishing up the music.

So.. it doesn't really apply to me, but it's a bit of my experience.
Dedicated to my BFFL who inspired me to write it
