Let me have my name back now
not the one you dragged through the shame and horror
and took from me
not that name
that name and it's owner died
my name that made me safe from you
that name that made the bad go
that made the cold brute Jane Fisher go
and gave me back my life
my real name
chosen by me
that I smiled at when called
my own name
safe from the horror of my childhood
and the even greater horror
of the church of england in their wickedness
my new name that they did not know
and couldn't blacken
now I can have my name back
and the horror is over
but it will never be over
until I am allowed to die
they traced me and took my new name from me
and destroyed me again
and tried to change my name back to
the one they destroyed
it's getting late
it's getting dark
I have waited for so long
for names and life and what has been forced on me
to end, to go, and for God
to allow my death
