REVEBRATING STRENGTH™ (Poetry)

MY NICKNAME HISTORY!!!

Whole lot of names
Crowned on my head
Each one being
Funnier than the other
Why not use my real name
Why make new and bother?
Never thought
I would be called isshhhh....
Just because people find a sound
More easy to pronounce
Than the entire name!
But not all are funny
Especially the one named by my mummy
'Isha' , the royal , the unique
One of the nine goddesses that can't be defeated!
Some are honorable
That remind me of my achievements
Ishita singh head girl
Short formed as ISHG
And soon that was the name on everyone's lips
Even Ishita remained forgotten!
Then a friend named me 'Einstein'
Why? Even I can't guess
Maybe because I stick out tongues at others
Or maybe because of my witty nature
But genius as he
I can't be!
Then came a new name
ISIS, for some it meant I-sis
For some a terrorist
Whatever it be
Surely made me infamous in school
Students started hiding from me
I hated that
But it was so interesting too!
Funniest and most famous
The one i don't want to mention
'Fatty' for some , 'Ele' (phant) for others
Not some name I treasure
But as I respect feelings of all
Love no less for any one
So mentioning each and every single!
But the crown goes out
To the one I cannot live without
When my brother calls me 'Football'
I feel like taping his mouth!
But the way he speaks, flattering
I even get to eat more chocolates
To avoid the tube from flattening!!
