Over several months, I have seen my name Elongatedperforatedaccentedviolatedcelebrateddecapitatedcommemoratedannhilatedoverstated-- And there are too many –ateds for this simple poem to handle. It interests me that my name is used for just about everything. It is synonymous with the filthiest curse words, Funniest jokes, Heaviest insults, Most beautiful sayings, And oddest decrees. I am most grateful for this. My name is now synonymous with anything and everything. It proves that I am much more than one Or two Or three Or fifty-two Or negative five things.
I Am Morgan. I Am Everything.
I know what you might be thinking, but I am not an egocentric person. My friends like to shout my name a lot and put it in songs and things like that. Don't ask me why; I don't know. Although I pretend to be irritated by it, I am actually flattered. I used to have really low self-esteem. By doing this, my friends have given me much more confidence (but not too much). I am grateful for this and I'm now not afraid of what people think when they hear my name screeched, hence the bold poem.
