What does the poem mean? Why is the poem important? How did it make you feel?


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!

I think that this poem means, that the person is telling the poem as a nobody. Talking to another person asking if they are to. Why also telling like how it is everyday "To tell your name the livelong day". I think that the person who wrote this also made it important because, they are showing the reader if I'm nobody how would it be to be somebody. For how the author wrote the poem it made me feel like, if your a nobody how they feel they are out of place and how werid it would be to be someone.
