no name

by: Keyshawn Matthews

                No name

If I had one it would be lame

No name

Roll call is taken, I’m here but absent

All I can do is walk in the rain

People think I got no brain

Or I’m tame

But I’m not lame

Or tame

And I do have a brain

And I found out I have a name

My name calls the flowers

They have lion’s mane

They grow like a flame

Not suppressed by the rain

Now im walking down the lane

Knowing I have a name

My name doesn’t bring pain

It brings joy

I feel like a giddy little boy

Dreaming that he’s a pirate yelling Ahoy

My name brings tranquility

Makes me feel like a king

To which knights take a knee

my name is what makes me tick

ticking like a clock

which until now hid in my sock.
