What's your name?
What's a name if no one ever calls you that?
What's a name if spoken in spite?
The constant correction, rejection, feels as if I'm at bat.
Would I ever cave to the slander? At best-
I might.
Disgust overflows as that name is spat.
Can't I ever do right?
Why does this hurt so bad?
Why am I still so fucking sad?
