I am no one anyone wants to know
and that's okay with me, frankly speaking
my life is nobody's business but mine
not until I cross over that boundary
only then am I at fault for something
only then have I done someone else harm
not necessarily though, I could have
enlisted in the Peace Corps and done good
as that is a boundary to cross as well
no one ever said not to volunteer
yet why have I put this matter aside
only to decide at a later date
no one really cares if I'm not famous
even though they expect me to do well
whether or not I'm famous for nothing
as nobody knows who I am that counts
not at all in anyone's point of view
to achieve something of merit, to stand
shoulder to shoulder with giants takes will
to choose to be someone to look up to
only all my faults and mistakes become
known to one and all as public knowledge
now whose secrets are so dark as to hide
openly in public as nobody
worth knowing because they did something wrong
