• When I was younger my name

    was one of someone wild and outgoing

    I swore I would never marry

    I was strong, wild, full of life, and hope

    Now I am softer

    Filled with a sadness nobody sees

    My name is now of someone quiet and shy

    the name of someone who

    can never forgive

    I inherited her sorrow

    her sadness and pain

    I wish to baptize myself

    and create myself a new name

    one filled with hope and life

    one that can forgive and move on
