What's In A Name

I might answer to at least, more than one hundred names

some left a wound the others left me changed

And I can't take them back, I wouldn't if I could

cause although some were bad, so many others were good

And it's a fine line that splits them, like a comma or question

and I find myself lingering to figure out, what was the lesson

Cause I know I will find one, if I'm being honest

when all's said and done, there is always more promised

Cause the name that you call me, tells the depth to our story

it puts you on a list, into one of a few categories

A friend or a foe, a lover or teacher

until we try, we won't know, see, life's an ongoing adventure

We live and we breathe and along the way, life just happens

a swift interchange of expression, actions and reactions

What we make of the choices and the time we are given

tells a lot about heart and what starts your ignition

You can just sit and wait to see what might happen

or you can forge your own path, exposing your passion

Make the life that you want, answer to the names of your liking

or be open to them all, the outcome might be surprising
