Say My Name

Say My Name

Everyone thinks that the name that someone else gives you is your name,

but what if it feels wrong?

Like a picture frame slightly off centre.

Or eyebrow hairs facing the wrong way.

Sure you can barely notice it,

however over time you can’t pretend that it doesn’t bother you.

Say my name.

I’m tired of making other peoples lives easier by holding this parasite in me.

Why cannot we choose our own journeys?

Not let someone else choose just because they already had a plan for us.

Say my name.

Isn’t my life?

My picture frame has been off centre for my whole life.

It took me years to figure it out why.

Say my name.

No,

not my birth name,

but my real name.
