Jennifer

My full name carries hurt

''Jennifer'' is my full name

For me, it holds heavy shame

My Dad is the only one

Who can get it done

My Dad doesn't say it with care

I just stand there

In a tiny voice, I say, ''yes?''

He says it with such a mess

''Jennifer'' is a name a parent is suppose to cherish

I've needed ''Jennifer'' to parish

My name is Jenni now

It hurts to know what ''Jennifer'' is all about
