Desire to be known

Once upon a time.....

In the land of the forgotten-

Where no one remembers your name-

Where everything you do always matters-

But no one can remember your name-

Once upon a time....

In that sad little land a name was suddenly whispered-

Everyone repeated and said it all wrong-

Until the name was deformed and disfigured-

Once upon a time....

That name was so beautiful-

Now it's like all the rest-

Forgotten and never remembered-

For saying it was the true test.
