How to Scream Your Name
Reach to the stars
in your eyes
truth that no one denies
those golden globes
too precious
to tell lies
There whispers precious
inklings you've known
give up your true name
Take that name
mother it with tongue
until you feel no shame
Give it a song
practice it well
now your trumpet will
proclaim
a proud and
solid name
in your eyes
truth that no one denies
those golden globes
too precious
to tell lies
There whispers precious
inklings you've known
give up your true name
Take that name
mother it with tongue
until you feel no shame
Give it a song
practice it well
now your trumpet will
proclaim
a proud and
solid name

I agree that this is a very unique perspective on self-worth. It begins with who we are; and who we are physically begins with our name. No place to start like the beginning.

The lovely Minion video helped me make sense of the poem.
It would be an interesting ritual to change one's name by going somewhere echoey and special and shouting it.
(I have heard of story of a woman who was trying to get on with a man she fancied at work; she ran naked round a hill said to have magical powers three times shouting the man's name - next time she saw him he asked her out!)
