STANDING IN MY OWN TRUTH

 My makers gave me a difficult name. A name that insists on the full use of the tongue. A name that allows me not to trust the ones that cannot pronounce it. While all of the time I thought it was my folly. Its just the word, so I forgave, excused myself shyly, explained countless time, tried to make them understand, worried about first impressions, whether they liked me. It's just a word and with words there is always a loss. How are we expected to tell the truth with only 26 letters? Is this why I give my body and throw my lips against yours, so I won't need to apologize for who I came to be named?

I am a barer of the name that demands you to tell me nothing but the truth.

And to tell you a little secret...I am going to name our daughter a difficult name too.
