What does my name say about me?

Is it an expression of who I am?

This collection of sounds

Jumbled into something

Others consider meaningful

It means "young creature"

In the Gaelic language

That was the birthright

Of my ancestors

But to me it means "writer"

"Thinker"

"Weakling"

"Warrior"

"Tempter"

"Encourage­r"

"Healer"

My name is how I know myself

How I express

The very idea of my soul

And all the experiences that have

Shaped

Molded

Filled

My wanton human soul

It is how I say

"These are the results

Of all the many things I have learned

Done

Destroyed

Loved

And they make a greater product than

The sum of all the parts."

My silly name

Is how I express my humanity

My individuality

My commonality

My ignorance

My name is not meaningful

On it's own

But it is how I can know myself

And most importantly of all

It is mine
