You ask do I like my name?
I reply with a sigh
That's a difficult question
With a simple answer, at least for me.
You see
My names have meanings
Like 123
They mean
Princess
Beautiful
And beloved for me
And I guess I could never get behind that
It seemed like some cosmic joke
That I felt everyone was laughing at
Her name means beautiful?
That's a laugh
It doesn't take a long look to disagree with that
Like how are you to name a child before they even utter their first word?
Before their wildest dreams have even been heard?
Maybe what I'm getting at is names should be earned
Or maybe they should be burned
Earn a new one when you reach a milestone
Maybe they should define what it means to be home
Just maybe one day I'll like my names
And I won't have to keep running and battling the flames
