Identity
History
Family
Self —
What is in my name
Besides exactly who I am?
What is in a name
The one on paper
Then the one I choose
When I go on stage;
The one he whispers
In my ear,
Then screamed
As he came.
I am all of the above.
What is in a name
When you marry and take his?
No longer mine,
Mine still —
What I replace,
The future I gain,
No longer mine,
No longer yours,
But ours.
