A Name

A Name

A Poem by Serena
"

Was just thinking of what a name means and why we have them. And this poems started forming itself. :)

"

A name,

something precious,

yet, easily lost


Syllables,

that's all it is

Letters,

all it'll ever be

Yet, it defines us all


A name,

something to be kept close,

but, quickly forgotten


Insignificant to others, but...

A name, it is a treasure


Priceless, yet worthless

nothing to do with who you are,

but so much more


A name,

something so filled with love, so meaningless

A name,

that's all we are

It may be romantic of me to think so, but humans are so much more than a name. We are ideas, thoughts emotions, an entire universe trapped in a few neurons. But to others, sometimes we are just a name. And you're right, in our culture, names are just something to identify you and nothing more. But in other cultures (such as Native American) names have a huge meaning! I really enjoyed this write, and I read in your bio that you aspire to be a poet. I believe you have succeeded.
