Mr Nobody
Burak Sahin
Mr Nobody is feeling under the weather most of the time.
He moved away from sunny lands
to dark shores, with a dream.
Even though the people he saw
when he arrived at this new land
were lovely
he never belonged.
He does not belong to where he came from,
he does not belong to this land either.
Where is home?
A wise man once said: time flies,
and so it did.
With time’s passing he forgot,
what his dreams were, where his home was,
what his name was, thus he became
Mr Nobody, just trying to save the day
in his little room, making circles.
