What's in a name?
A bunch of symbols
clustered to make a sound?
A way to say 'hey you',
But to specify around?

Is it a label,
Meant to carve your path?
A given stereotype,
Just to feed the wrath?

What does it mean?
What's in a name?
Does it mean anything?
Or is it all the same?

Who am I?
Am I me?
Or am I this word,
That characterizes everything about me?

What's in a name?
These strung up letters?
This label?
A sound?
And who is to blame?

This word,
These letters
Is this the person I am?

Who am I?
Am I this name?
This word, this label?
Is this a game?
Please,
Someone tell me,
What's in a name?
