anonymous


Anonymous: Adj. of unknown or undiscovered name or authorship I prefer to remain anonymous, to live without a name, No ownership of words To spill out My heart without remembrance or judgment To be accepted for who I am- and- who I am not To walk a line where only My eyes can see. I prefer to remain anonymous. I was born into this world anonymous, and My birth certificate says “anonymous,” so I must be _____. In the eyes of one, I have many names- labels and categories that I obtain. I remain. There is power in a name; My name carries me as a whole, me as a person. It characterizes me and sums up my being. I prefer to remain anonymous, to live without a name, No ownership or words, no accounts of wrongs or rights or woes, no triumphs, no glory, Just being. I was born with no name and that’s the way I prefer to remain, Until I know, until I know, until I know what I have yet to be told, until I see what I have yet seen, until faith shines through the cracks in My heart, until My eyes open and I can finally see, Until I believe. I prefer to remain anonymous, to live without a name, no ownership of words, to spill out My heart without remembrance or judgment To be accepted for who I am- and- who I am not
