Names

Three words I don’t mind

And one I do

One word I get called every day of my life

And three I’m afraid of hearing.

I don’t know how to feel

When someone calls my name

How to feel when I’m too scared

To write my names out again

When I fear being spoken to or

Telling people who I am

Three words I long to have spoken

And one I’d like to forget

One word everyone likes to call me

And three I’d rather hear

They are my names

And I’d like to use my words

To tell everyone what they are

But I’m too scared to lift my voice and tell you.
