Nobody
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.
Read Complete AnalysesNobody 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!!
