You ask my name
Not my label
Given to me at birth
My actual title
You were the first

The few letters
That aren't meant
To make me cry
Or feel less than you
Or like a lie

Why? I'm curious
Why did you ask this?
No one ever cared to
They gave me other names
And then there's you

I mean maybe
You asked to make it worse
To use it as another insult
One far more personal
And say it's all my fault

But I don't think
That's what you mean
I think you actually want to know
And maybe be a friend
In a sea of foes

You asked my name
And I debated
Whether or not to tell
But when you heard it
You became an angel in my hell
