a name carried with such burden,
take it off and who am I,
guarded by confidence,
hidden deep in cages,
laid my desire to be accepted,
without any excuses or hindrance.
being myself was a word of shame,
trophies and degrees my fame,
take it off and I\'m a shame.
for long I\'ve been a player of this game,
could I ever be not lame,
for me to be me and be enough,
carried such importance,
my notorious little name.
