My dad thinks my name means
“Little princess”
My mom thinks my name means
“Behaves like a cat” and
“Hard to love”
My brother thinks my name means
“That annoying sound maker”
My favorite teacher  thinks my name means
   “Nurturing
        Imaginative
         Noteworthy
Astute”
My best guy friend thinks my name means
“Good at poetry and knows how to laugh”
My person thinks my name means
“Going to help many people one day”
But I think they left out some things like
“Tries way too hard to impress”
“Has many bottled up emotions in stock “
“Dreams of skyscrapers and glass windows”
“A binge watcher of many, MANY shows”
“Dreams of the perfect family in the suburbs”
”Dreams of love, from someone, anyone”
“Has a walk in closet full of masks”
And that’s what my name means
