What my name means...

Me
Lupita, Lupe
Names that don’t define who I am
Names that don’t clearly say my real name
Guadalupe
The name that I rather have them call me
A name that my mother and father chose for me
After, my dad did I promise to the Virgin Mary.
Ramirez
My last name that comes from a father
That works day and night for a better future for me
Guadalupe Ramirez
A name that defines my parents love towards me
Name that clearly defines who
I am …
Nobody could ever change that

Thank you! And well, before I was born my mom was ill and my dad had gone to church and promised the Virgin Mary if everything went well they would have named me like her.....

I really like this :) and your name is really pretty. As well as the poem. The only sentence I stumbled over was the 8th line... "my dad did I promise" I was confused at that part, what does it mean?
