My Name Is

My real name is
Sarah, god’s brave princess

Yesterday my name was
lonely one, lost in a forest of darkness

Today my name’s
written all over the
walls, in the bathroom
stalls, and on the ceiling

Tomorrow my name will be
destiny, what is in my
future and where will it end

Secretly I know my name is
small, meaningless, and invisible

My name once was mighty
queen of the pool, and fast

In my dream my name was
invisible, honey, that girl, hey you
my mother thinks my name is
somebody do this, somebody do that

Right now my name
is unknown.
