Nameless

Privacy

The thing everyone wants that

No one has, the right to which

We gave up when the internet

Started staring back.

The only thing I want more than

Balls is a fucking

Unexamined life, so I can try to be

Myself authentically, instead of

Performing. The only freedom I’ve found

Is through anonymity

Which makes most people uneasy, alas

I’d rather be misunderstood

Than watched, a society of peeping Tom’s

Nosy neighbors and contemptuous, jealous nonsense—

I’d rather be nameless, that way

No one can single me out, just a

Feeling you’ve been trying to deny.
