Nobody


You want me to write a poem about nobody? 

Okay.

Here it is!

I don't want anybody. 

I don't want nobody

I want that island to myself.

Selfish

I guess. 

But nonetheless,

I want it to myself

Let me make peace with nobody,

That should be my goal,

Cause people have a problem with having nothing at all.

But me, 

I'm going to enjoy my time alone,

On an island that I can call my own.

Won't be splitting the rent, 

Hell, no rent at all.

I don't need nobody to be my know-it-all.

I can fish for myself, 

I can kill it myself. 

If I was meant to be there,

I'd perfer to be there with no help.

If I was stuck on an island, 

please let me be.

I don't want to bring nothing, and

Nobody.
