My Name Is Not Mine

May 24, 2021
By Anonymous

Have you ever noticed

how people fit into 

their names with 

such ease?

I notice how they 

seem to be born into

their names.

I was given a name

that isn't my own. 

It is mine,

but it is not 

me. 

Is this what an

identity crisis feels like?

Beautiful, and it leaves much to be speculated on and thought about.
