my parents named me Sarah 

Because they didn’t want to ruin a name they liked.

 

I know this because they told me.                                                                                     

Sarah means princess.

 

And truth be told, I’m not a princess.

I have never lived in a castle

or fought a dragon.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  After my brother

They didn’t want more kids.

Then I came along

Like a tsunami

In a calm lake.


Everyone in my family has a family name,

Then there is me.

The one named Sarah because that way

When I messed it up no one cared.  


My name really has no significance.

Just something giving to me at birth

So I would know when I was being spoken to.
