A name isn’t something you choose
Yet it wants indelible power over you
A name tells people what to call you, what to think
A name is more than letters pressed in ink
Your name is something you can choose
It doesn’t have to hold power over you
Unless you want it to
A name can empower too
What’s in a name?
More than some will ever know
Perhaps with time they’ll learn and grow
