My name
Is used by 2 people whom I love
Other than myself
I made this name.
When I was 13,
I began a novel.
The main character's name was Marisa Lu Makil.
She was everything I ever wanted to be
Wrapped up into one lost girl.
She had matured by the end of the book
And so have I.
I made my name
So can you.
Make your name
You can be whoever and whatever you want to be.
So live long
Laugh hard
And love ferociously.
Make your name
A name that others wish they could live up to,
And enjoy the story along the way.
Marisa is a pseudoname. It is used by a couple other people with my permission, but when I claim the name of my childhood hero, I feel like I have lived as she did: long, laughing hard, and loving ferociously.
