Name

My name was this

My name was that

Now that my name been nixed

My aim is wisdom

No more parlor tricks

I’m too hard to track

Nonetheless I exist

Outside the system

I’m too blessed to stress

Too strong to wrong

I am too cool to fool

Too calm to con

I am too fresh to fetch

Too healed to heel

I am too free to flee

Too real to kneel

Now that the time and place

To corrupt time and space

Has become commonplace

I’m on the case

This is all just a game

There ain’t no need for shame

There ain’t no need for change

No need for pain

Thanks to my guiding grace

I’m alongside the greats

I am inside the gates

Ain’t no more sour grapes

Where’s I before’s askew, now I’m straight

Where I before was screwed

Not I’m chaste

Can’t solve me

I don’t even care

Try and call me

I don’t even hear

I ain’t even here

Gather round boys and girls

Lemme tell you a tale

Of a new kind of brain

That does not have a name

But will always prevail

Give in and give it up

Don’t mind overriding your serotonin inhibitors

Leave on the lights

All the stars are aligned

At this time I would like

To thank God I'm alive

On the day I was born

Everything was foretold

When the first thing I saw

Was my own broken mold

When it gets late at night

Sometimes I lie awake

Sometimes I’ll take a hike

Sometimes I hibernate

All that I have is now

I do not have a past

I do not walk a path

I do not have a plan

I remain free to choose

That which I want to be

That which I want to do

That might be news to you

But it’s not news to me

So let’s cut the crap

Go ahead zip your lip

While I go bridge the gap

Can’t solve me

I don’t even care

Try and call me

I don’t even hear

Can’t solve me

I don’t even care

Try and call me

I don’t even hear

I ain’t even here

Had to turn off the screen

Put down the phone

Which was good for my health

When I’m all by myself

I am still not alone

When I go overseas

I remain overseen

When I go down the road

It is all kings and queens

When I keep company

I don’t go after things

I let things come to me

Till they land in my hand

Because it’s rude to grab

That is the way I got

Everything that I have

None of which I will keep

‘Cause I like letting go

Much like the autumn leaves

Much like the fallen snow

Or the clouds overhead

Must continue to move

Or the day and the night

And the Sun and the Moon

I don’t ask how or why

But observe what and when

I am not one of you

I am not one of them

I am a one of one

That’s for sho'

Being me 101s

All I know

I don’t even care

I don’t even hear

I ain’t even here
