What is in a name?
Does it feed into the notion of you?
Or is it just a mere label being called to?
Is a name supposed to have a meaning?
Or a legacy you continue leaving?
Surely it is not just the way you're living
It exceeds more than your ancestor's misgiving
But an identity you hold that amounts to one thing -
A name that is yours and is worth loving
Now, tell me, what is in your name?
Does it define you the way you want it to be?
Or does it just weigh you down with a bigger responsibility?
Filling in the shoes of those before you
To either be greater than the name itself or be someone new
