You are called by a name
Which no one gave
Yet it is your given name.
It was given up to save,
What was lost already,
In a place no one could keep,
Your name was just a serum
So they could watch you sleep
There's a ring around your finger
There's a ring about your name
There's a ring around your expectations
For things to stay the same
How permanent is a name to you?
How long does it exist?
Is your name another way
Of throwing out your fist
Against a world driven by labels
A place pursued by shames
I shy away from name calling
I deviate from all that fame.
