Forgot About Names

By Elizabeth

Cast aside the chains that bind us to
this place in time.
Abandon them and then pretend were not
a dozen a dime.
Conformity
swallows me
and makes it so
hard to see
that in any "we",
there's a 'you' and 'me',
and a lost individuality.


Socitey could not be
if we each had identities,
for you see put simply,
there's no need for a 'me'.
