No One Knows My Name

Tinisha Johnson

I am but another writer, another author, another expression of my serenity

I also recognize I want to get noticed, but no one knows my name I can hear a mild sound, a distance bump-bump in the night,

It is my heart and it is yearning and sometimes stirring with mixed emotions, not knowing which turns are right

Walking on a line so thin, trying desperately to figure out my pathway

I already tried to be someone else, but I now know I can only be me, and yes--I have a name

Calm, delicate, watching the world pass right in front of me,
