Name
Whats in a name?
Thats something that Shakespeare wrote isint it?
But there is still value to it isint there?

I remember never liking my name
'Taylor'
Whats in that name that makes me uncomfortable?

Is it the fact that i was stuffed into this body?
Put into this wrong body?
Is it the fact that my parts are wrong?
Or is it the name itself?

Whats in a name?
Correction
What IS a name?
A name is a jumble of syllables
It sets you apart from the rest of the people
The rest of the living creatures of the world
So why be stuck with a name you dont like?

Matthew Todd
Why do i like that name?
Why did my mom like that name?
She said if i was born a with a ***** that it would be my name
So why cant it be?

Taylor Marie
Why did she name me that?
I know why
Taylor, she named me that from a strangers baby
Not a friend of hers baby, but a strangers
How fitting of her

Marie, that is her middle name
And her mom's
And her Grandma's
So its only natural it would become mine too

But not for long

Taylor Marie
Whatever the name means to me, it wont be my name anymore
My name
Is Matthew Todd
My mom had a baby name book that had a section for your children and it also had a section named "other names considered" and my mom wrote "if boy: Michael Todd"
I was considering my name being Michael Todd but my brothers middle name is Michael so that would be confusing
