Our names
Are us.
They’re poetic in meaning.
Some common,
Some unique.
Sometimes we choose them;
Sometimes they’re chosen for us:
A family heirloom,
A memorial,
An aspiration,
An inspiration.
Our nicknames we give to those we know.
A name becomes beautiful when it belongs to someone we love.
We present ourselves through our names.
We are behind our signatures.
Us: complex and ever changing beings
Represented by our names.

Some say
names
isolate you
from
the pure
SELF.
