And now I have become thoroughly a Somebody- <br />Though once, I was Nobody, only a child- <br />Most powerless, among the world's true movers. <br />It's true I planned no ambushes of greatness, <br />Planted no vistas of wisdom or skill, <br /> <br />Still managing somehow to morph into a sort of public entity: <br />Recognizable, if not lauded; <br />Vociferous, if un-heard, <br />Being proclaiming unctiously <br />That I take up some space, in this world.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-somebody-of-something/
