Untitlement

You have been locked inside these thoughts
For so long, the thoughts think maybe
You were meant to stay here, in them.

No, you weren’t. You weren’t meant to stay
Anywhere. Thoughts made you, and thoughts
Make you uncomfortable. Not

Every kind of thought. Some of them.
The ones that seem to target you.
Question is—can you get away

From them? It’s just a thought, but yes,
You can. Here’s what words suggest, then—
Ask, If not words, what are names then?
