Be yourself, because life's too short to be anyone else.


maybe just a letter that comes before B
maybe something more the symbolizes he or she
Hester Prynne wore her letter without a mask
for one letter she would not let define her tasks

“A Name”

our title our name our fame
something that makes us or
maybe something that breaks us

some people may say it’s harmless
some people may call it rude
depending on which side you are on
will change the way it’s viewed

be careful what you say
in secrecy or aloud
just one silly stupid comment
could silence a whole crowd

people hurt in different ways
some show it everyday
others hide behind a smile
don’t be fooled it’s just their style

whether we can overcome
or hide behind in shame
labeling other people
should never become a game
