No Name

How can I be for others
What I still cant see
In me

Yet my star flutters
Something great calls me forward
No name, no name

The ego alive
But its awareness is
Aflame

With no name

I am working within me
As a chemist in a lab
Tinkering here
And adapting there

I am the designer
Without a name
Without a name

I am motivated,
Cleansed
And healed
By compassion

How can a feeling
Felt so tritely by some
And by myself earlier
And now be felt as
A powerful perception
Taking me over and
Leaving my Older
Self behind

I am fine,
I feel fine
With leaving that
Older name
Behind

The reality of life
So disparate, so varied
One body, Different Minds
Living in the same world
At different times

No name, I have no name
I can be up or down
Broken or strong
All I must know
And be, from now
To now
To now

Is no name

great use of words for comparisons.
I think when change comes to invade us, we lose something about ourselves ... and also makes our preferences may varied from before... that's when we question us, "who am I ?" or "what do I really want?" Since change makes us think we are strangers to ourselves..
great write!!! :-)

when we leave part of ourselves behind, do we lose our identity?... I appreciate and enjoyed the analogies used as a chemist, a designer, redesigning, restructuring the "system" to accommodate for these changes.. learning how to feel again... how to act... how to connect... after losing a part of who we are and shutting systems down, hiding parts away...

looking for that new identity... searching, trying to understand what it is others see in you.. .need from you... perception is indeed a powerful thing...


one small suggestion, if I may....

"And by myself earlier
And now be felt as"-------------would probably leave off the second "and"... flows either way, but think it is slightly better without it... my opinion (for what it is worth)...


this is what I love about your writing.. you always hit deep with your stimulation of thinking and the stirring of emotions.. it always knocks me over... every dang time.. another amazing piece... I am a huge fan..

I don't know if this is what you meant but I kept flashing on a snake shedding it's skin over and over again. We're constantly changing so perhaps we shouldn't be given something permanent like a name. Just my thoughts. I really liked it. Very well written.

I'm just guessing here, but are you describing a person before and after he change. As he leave his other self behind, he thought that the person before and now are two different person but have the same name, so the person now decided to have 'a no name' rather than having the same name.
