Trying so hard
Keeping quiet for so long
Now
Deciding
To take a stand

Once branded so dully
So boring
So common and bland

Now
I stand with pride
For I have made a change
My title

Now
A new name
A new calling card
What a wonder it is!
What joy it brings!
For now, I have chosen!

A name of curious origin
Simple, so not to be forgotten
Similar to a bird
The Blue Jay
A beautiful creature

So
Like the bird
I will no longer think of myself as dull
I will be wonderful!
Jay

Of course
Self-doubt shall always be at hand
Yet
I shall have a name to have pride for
A name I have chosen
