Name Poem

 

Lucas

I was born with the name Lucas

I never thought

that I would be called anything

Different

It was all I new

simplistic

average

satisfying

Lucas

my name was simple

it was the chain that defined me as a person

I never wanted anything more

for it was all I knew

but one day

everything changed

the chain was shattered

and replaced with something

Unique

Uncommon

Rare

Yahnis

A Mysterious name

born in the swirling depths of a juniors mind

Unusual

Out-of-the-Norm

Yahnis

difficult to accept at first

the name was

but as it was repeated like a broken record

it became integrated

a new chain

by which my existence is known

Yahnis

a name had never heard of

or thought of

but somehow

I look like a

Yahnis
