Names - Poem by Nsissim (original poetry to you for you)

in #poetry7 years ago

Names...

Confuse the name for the person and you’ll feel quite lost, as the mind clings to reference at any cost, so take a deep breath, sit back and relax, it’s the land that you love not the names on its maps,

Many names I’ve had throughout my days, Madam, Chubbs, n Syncy were all different ways, but here and now, nameless in this spot, I am but a being who loves life a lot,

My name is a name to remind me of change, yes it is odd and a little bit strange, so call me what you like I carry no shame, Adam or Nsissim, for these are just names,

Names are just labels on our boxes of flesh, we mistook them for that which lays deep in our chest, no name is greater and no name the best, our soul is eternal and our name is the guest.
