What is a name? A label that defines a person Describes them flawlessly Yet it also confines them Puts them in a box Live up to your name A name serves an important purpose To call you To haunt you Because names stick forever Like glue They follow you like a dog You own the name? Or does the name own you Don't let a word define you Drag you down with it

Who I am
What is a name? A label that defines a person Describes them flawlessly Yet it also confines them Puts them in a box Live up to your name A name serves an important purpose To call you To haunt you Because names stick forever Like glue They follow you like a dog You own the name? Or does the name own you Don't let a word define you Drag you down with it
Been a while
