A nobody…!

I just want to be hidden

I don’t want to appear

I don’t want the spotlight 

In the crowds I want to disappear 

I don’t want to be known

I just want to retreat

I don’t want the centre stage

Behind them I’ll be, totally discreet

I don’t want to be “the one”

I wish to lie low

I don’t want to be applauded

Or ridiculed for going slow

Enough of their scrutiny

Enough of their judgements

Enough of their advice

For I know their real intent 

I don’t want to be in reach

I don’t want to be on display 

I just want to be a nobody

From their eye I’ll be faraway…!
