Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wrote this awhile ago when a friend and I were looking up what our names meant and when I decoded my own name I realized how alike I really was to it and it got me thinking. But anyways I really want some strong criticism on this poem ^.^







a name
just a word
a word to call someone, a word to get the attention
thats all it is
or is it more?
a meaning
a definition
something that defines who we turn out to be
does it give us a life?
does it give us a purpose?
does it give us a right?
does it give us ourselves
a name
we just assume thats all there is
but its a symbol
an insignia
a tell
it is ourselves.
each name is different
each name has a story
each name gives its own definition
what is your name? what are you defined?
we always want to change our names
change ourselves, change our lives
but this is the truth
we are who we are, we need who we are
and our name is apart of exactly what we are
of what makes us
of what gives us
our individuality
so i will say my name loud
i will say my name proud
for i
yes me
am the pure gift of God from the water
and it is a title i am happy to bear

I liked it - it makes good points about our selves and who we want to be
