Nameless

I’m ashamed to say that I wrote ‘Nameless’ whilst being extremely judgemental about another person.  My complaint was, that in my view, this person never took responsibility for her actions or lived with the consequences of her actions.  She was a ‘nameless’ / ‘faceless’ person who didn’t stand up and admit her wrongdoings!!  Luckily, I was there to police this!!! hahaha!!

As a result I have a poem which I quite like.  However, I do try to be less judgemental about others.  We’re all complex beings, living and learning and getting better as we go along!

 

Nameless

 

Speak your name

Stand up and identify yourself

I recognise you but it doesn’t spring to mind

You’re nameless

 

Reveal your hand

Step out and expose yourself

I notice you but I’m not certain

You’re faceless

 

Acknowledge your actions

Address and modify yourself

I sense you but I’m cautious

You’re reckless

 

Confess your faults

Speak up and humble yourself

I’m aware of you but I don’t make parallels

You’re shameless

 

Present your motives

Express and explain yourself

I perceive you but I’m not comforted

You’re careless.

 

Admit your mistakes

Apologise and redeem yourself

I accuse you but I’m not negligent

You’re blameless.
