From Nobody to Nobody

i realize that when i came here,i'm nobody....
absolutely nobody..
and now, i've been here quite for a long time...
and realize i'm still nobody...
and i know when i leave this environment, i'll still be nobody...

what i'm gonna write here, might hurts others feelings....
so i apologize first...
hope u guys can forgive me..

i feel like, it's just my luck to be chosen...
first, i thought its something called 'trust'...
but now, i feel that i'm juz a 'pion'...
i'm not needed here except for a specific job...like i said...'pion'..
only that i must do...
nothing else....

i feel no support...
i'm blind for this field...for this area...
i really dunno anything...
now, i still dunno anything...
coz they juz let me be...
let me loose...

i thought here. there is this family 'thing'...
togetherness...
supporting each other...
nevertheless....NOTHING.....zero....

they called me only when they need me...
to do my job...
they blame me if i don't do what they ordered...
YES SIR....
I AM READY SIR....
I'LL HAVE THE PUNISMENT SIR....
I'M SORRY SIR...
although it's not as vulgar as above, but that's what i feel...

juz being a 'pion'....

But it's ok....
maybe it's my destiny to be like this...
from Nobody to Nobody..
nothing change...
maybe here it's not my place...
