Say My Name


Say my name

So it could be heard

So it could be felt

So it could be enpowered

Say my name

Even if you don't like it

Even if it doesn't suit me

Even if it's not "normal"

Say my name

So it could ring as the only truth you speak

So it could echo through the sounds of nature

And let if fall from your lips in the beauty as it was given to me

Say me name

For I am ME
