My sister got to name me,

And thank god I’m a boy

Because I would’ve been “Flower” otherwise.

Instead of a noun,

I am instead named after the kind boy,

Who sat next to my sister on the school bus.

While I am always referred to as Jacob,

Or Jake or “snot” in my sister’s case,

I’ve always taken to my last name better.

“Stolberg” A strong and sturdy name, as my grandfather likes to say.

I’ve used my last name to stake a place for myself,

Kinda had to with Jacob being a most popular name since 1999

it’s been since high school where I really adopted my last name,

Keeping the signature flair, or “Scribble”

And however messy it may be, I am proud of that scribble
