Names

a name...
is what someone calls you...
is helpful...
is hurtful...
can bring grief...
can bring joy...
may save...
may destroy...
brings peace...
brings chaos...
a name...
is something that is yours...
something that you love...
something that you despise...
can be harmony...
can be a tongue twister...
may bring memories of good...
or bad...
brings laughter...
brings sorrow...
now I ask
what is yours
think carefully
(what will your name bring)
