a name unfulfilled

kaitlyn means purity, clarity, pure beauty,
a name woven with grace, a promise of serenity.
but i am not pure, nor clear, nor a vision to behold,
a life wrapped in a lie, a story left untold.

from birth, my name whispered of a destiny so bright,
yet i've stumbled through shadows, lost in endless night.
i'm not the essence of my name, no clarity, no light,
just an extra person, in a world of stars so bright.

my life feels like a ruse, a tale spun with deceit,
for i am nothing special, just dust beneath their feet.
a liar in my essence, not fulfilling what was meant,
my name a cruel reminder, of a life that came and went.

i'm not the purity or beauty that my name should represent,
just a shadow in the background, a life that's poorly spent.
kaitlyn, a name of grace, yet i'm tangled in despair,
a hollow echo of a promise, a weight too much to bear.
