Namesake

We all want to create and live our own personas, but the truth is we are who we are. My name is Devin, Nived is just a persona that I use to express my thoughts under. We must love ourselves as we are

Granted the identity at birth

Our choice, invalid to this earth

Unable to speak, unable to choose

but live your life under no ruse

You may cry, and you may weep

but in the end, you go to sleep

You can be who you want, always

but your name will not leave the hallways

Live the fantasy, escape the life

Run away from the foreboding strife

Your name is yours forever more

Live your life and beware the lore

Well hello there Devin,

I like that your persona is spelled backwards :) Very clever!

INTRODUCTION

Theme:

1. Identity

Vocabulary I Do Not Like

1. "Invalid": None of us are invalids, but imperfect human beings.
2. "Unable": We all have a voice that is encrypted into our outlets.

Vocabulary I Do LIke

1. "Fantasy": Fantasy is an excellent form of escapism because it stimulates creativity. However, it is only healthy within the proper quantities.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

"You name is yours forever more
Live your life and beware the lore."

The name we are given at birth gives us our identity before we choose ourselves. Honestly, I thought my persona had to be me, but Devin is right that we must be true to our name.

CONCLUSION

I am not the fish
upon the Nightwish.

And his name was not Nemo...

Her name was...

Veronica

yours truly,

I will clarify some of the vocabulary. Invalid is not meant to describe a human being...but the choice of their name. When we are born, we don't choose our name; we are given a name. "Unable" is describing a similar situation.

I intended those words to show how powerless we are to choose our own names, but in the end, we should appreciate them and be thankful for them. We are unable to choose our names, and whatever a child thinks is invalid, because you can't read a child's mind, and you can't speak.

I apologize for those words coming out the way they did.

Ahhh I see:d Thank you. Oh no, no you don't! Do not apologize because that was the ignorance of the reader! Not you!

Your poetry has become more beautiful with that information:D
