Why Bother With a Name

My soul has been encumbered
With dreams that fail in utero
There's a heavy burden
My spirit being broken
Is a pain that reveals my flaws
With every other soul chosen
Left behind to think
I wonder upon the cause
Am I so ugly
That you scorn me
Am I such a fool
Since the beginning
Just being born
Was I just a stain
Meant to fade
Hidden deep in the bunker
Never see the light of day
I know my future is dark
Going weeks without sleep
Is starting to really show
Do I even have a name
It'd be easy to use a number
This life has been cruel
My being emptied of value
I no longer know
Why I've been taught this shame
I'm certain it'll break my heart
Because right now
I feel like a curse
I've been wired
With some corrupted code
