No Name Required

In a washed-out world, I pass unnoticed,

With a bulky backpack filled with stories;

Strangers meet me with profound eyes,

But never ask me to explain.

 

Their concave lips speak lightly,

Words that don’t demand a place;

No time to weigh who I am,

No lamp is lit when moonlight hides.

 

Under a cohesive stare, I open...

Not questioned, not confined;

Unscripted thoughts to share

With those who never ask my name.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It’s about discovering that you can be most authentic when no one asks you to explain who you are.
