Have I Known My Name Too Well
It was clear… for a while
Became a blur… given a moment
And it wasn’t just anyhow
It was…perhaps still a capturing bewilderment
I am pushed and I let go
I will no longer hold on
Is there a real world to follow?
I’m not becoming better to belong
Say your name for me…
Are we given a name for who we are?
I do not know that name given be
I always feel further when they call me from afar
I have known… just knowing will do
I have poisoned myself without a cure
Everyone is becoming no one for you
Have I a life… or death to endure?
For a while… it is clear
A moment given… all’s a blur
Humanity is too far for humans to be near
Are we… or once there were?
