You
Who am I?
Who I am
I am who?
I am who I am
My name matters not
To strangers a lot
They pass me by
Without even saying hi
And in turn I
Don't even bother saying goodbye
Why we don't care
About each other's welfare
Is beyond what I'm aware
Maybe it's because
We're all afraid
The other person will misbehave
And cause us pain
So we ignore each other's names
After all
The other person could be insane
So we stay in our lane
But some are the opposite
They smile and because of it
I smile back and we talk a bit
And after a bit of chatter
We find our names do matter
And we feel safer
When seeing each other later
I wish this was
How it was for all of us
So let me begin
By doing the same thing
And let me ask you
Who are you?
"Who you are"
You are who?
Your name matters to me too.
