I hate my name
I hate the way he says it
With so much ferocity
I hate the way his tone tears me down
I hate the way he says my name
The way it sounds separates my body
From my mind
I hate the way it feels
I hate how my name destroys me
It keeps me in my place
I hate the way it traps me
I hate how I can be stable until my name fires out of his mouth
and I am knocked to the ground
I don't know who I am
I hate the way it feels
He takes away my being
Each time he says my name
And I hate it
