name

10[.]

Someone spoke to me.

[What's your name?]

Maybe it's because there are so many names,

Maybe it was because I didn't know what to answer,

or not

Was it because this was the first time someone had asked me this?

I couldn't answer.

I was just hesitating and biting my fingers

That kid put a bandage on me without saying anything.

and

[Your name isn't everything to you.]

[Because your name doesn't say it all]

[Tell me a name to call you.]

And yet

Even though you were so kind.

Because I couldn't say anything.

Because I don't know anything.

still,

Thank you so much.

I shed tears.

At least I laughed and cried.

That child

to me

[Yeah, cry.]

[Crying isn't bad.]

[Instead,]

[I just hope nothing sad happens.]

I was the first to give that child a name.

"friend"

This is the kind of child I wanted.

I'm not the kind of kid you should look down on.

I'm not the type of kid who chatters with other kids when I'm alone.

just

Call me by my real name.

When you cry and suffer,

It's not just meaningless consolation,

It's not the indifference of just bringing a bunch of toilet paper,

I wish you could hear my voice from the side.

[Don't be so sullen.]

[It's not common to have a name that can tell you everything about your time up to now.]
