I'm nobody! Who are you?

By Emily Dickinson
I like to share this work by Emily Dicknson. "A little Gem"  I'd say. Simple yet very impressive.

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!
