Taking My Middle Name
I realized something really important today
The girl that I was, is weak and feels betrayed
"Why did all of this happen to her?" I would always say
Was it the people close to her, that she got to be this way?
But it's bigger than that, as I finally realized
It's not her, it's "Jazmine" that keeps feeling terrorized
It is her who keeps feeling like the world is upside down
It is her that keeps believing that no one will stick around
It is her that still doesn't want to be found
Inside a closed off world that she wants to shut out.
So instead of being "Jazmine," I will take all that away
Instead I'll choose to take up my middle name
Because "Kalias" is special, strong, and will prevail
Because "Kalias" will allow her boat to set sail
Because she has observed what mistakes "Jazmine" made
She will not do the same for she is her own mate
She will not let those step on her feet
She will not let them abuse what she knows is unique
And because no one else can just take her name
It is her own, just like her life, who is not a shame
Who does not carry the weight of the world on her shoulders
Instead she'll have the strength to throw them like boulders
She'll walk and flaunt without a care
She's gonna take every chance without being fair
And best of all she has her whole life ahead
While "Jazmine" will stay in the past as if she were dead
"Kalias" is reborn with a new feat in mind
She's gonna be the greatest person on her absolute grind.
