names have always been a tendency of ours, we give each other nicknames; something short that substitutes our real names. we give ourselves another name instead of the one our parents gave to us. when I was young, I did not enjoy my name as much. people always made fun of it because it was odd, and I even thought for a moment that I, myself, was odd as well. 

my name is Young, always reborn and made anew.
my name is not Average, like Susy or Lisa, it's more like a new word that just popped into the dictionary overnight and everyone is stunned by this new word.
my name is Special, not to those people who despised me for always winning the Principle's award every year since kindergarten. my name is special to those who hold me dear and pray for me and I pray for them. 

my name is Essential to this crock-pot we call "Life," using the big spoon I mix in all the elements that were given to me and I turn that into a humongous piece of work. the good kind and the bad all mixed in there, waiting for someone to take a stab at it. take that big heaping spoon of me and tell me what you think. 
 my name is Lost, in the mist of the haze, all we can see at times is what is in front of us all, all I see is darkness and a small silver light that I reach out to every chance I get. the light tells me not to be afraid so I'm not. 

my name is Joy, all the smiles I try to make and the good times I try my best to bring about.
my name is Obviously not an excuse for you to toss me around and have your way with me, i dont mean sexually, i mean mentally and emotionally. my name is a reason for you treat me with respect, i earned it so don't be a dog and give it to me.

my name is a Maze, you can get lost in it but there are no wrong turns.
