My name given at birth
It starts with an O
In Latin it means "eighth month"
But really it's the tenth month of the year
Some people believe that our names are the very gear
That gets our lives moving
In my case
My name is one of my biggest fears
My parents put a stop sign in my life before I was born
They say to follow my heart
And it's telling me to rip my name apart!

"Were you born in October?"
"Is that your favorite month?"
"Hey September!"
"Why don't you like your name? I love it!"

Well good for you!
You don't have to live with it!
If anyone ever says the name of the month
I think they're talking to me
When I ask what they want
They say

"Stop listening to us, we weren't talking to you"

I just want to scream out
What do you want me to do!?
The very thought of my name makes me want to pout
My name is annoying
People feel like they have to double check

"Is your name really October?"

Yes!
Is that so hard to believe?
My name's October
O C T O B E R
got it?
Three annoying syllables
Seven annoying letters
Oh
If you haven't gotten it yet
I
HATE
MY
NAME
