I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

By Emily Dickinson



    
       I think that it Emily is saying that sometimes we feel like nobody compared to the popularity of others. This poem helps you to realize that it is not all good to be the most popular person in the world, most famous celebrity, or the most popular kid in school. I think that people often feel like they are nobody when things happen to them, like when they are left out of a group of friends. This is something that people should go back to often, just to remind themselves that their life isn't all that bad.
