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?
