My Name
My name was picked by my mother
Shared with brother, changed by grandmother, leaving me to uncover the truth from another
Not her so I suffered
My name means Honesty, Sacrificer, and Admirer.
The truth is not something I struggle with
Not something I struggle giving
Dealing blunt words of life and death to the living
An ocean full of sirens singing and unforgiving
The true gasoline to the fire of the conversating of thanksgiving
Not a sacrificer but a survivor
Not dead and gone but a reviver
Not continuous so my actions deprive her
Shot straight for the stars like a designated driver
Smart but I hope I get wiser, mean but I thought I’d get nice, neither one, wasn’t that a surpriser
Yeah I bet I surprised her
My loyalty shaped like a bent knife, left to your mind to decipher
Others hurt by words, in front of your face like a 1st time arriver
Step back or get pounced, I advised her
The light disappeared before I could admire her
An Admirer
I’m not disturbed by isolation
Gives the snakes roaming on my head motivation
There’s A thin line between love and hate, like death and creation
After being ignored like Katniss “Thanks for your consideration”
18 points behind leads to scrams of frustration
As you wait on your ticking time bomb of your sure elimination
Taken life with full force hesitation
As you make plans with your angels for your once in a life time reservation
That you see the perfectly laid out foundation
I just gave you a full fledge explanation
Of my name’s discrimination
Not common so it causes intimidation
My name, my own population
My name’s civilization
My name’s hasn’t gathered even a neutral reputation
I somewhat admire this Generation
It’s good and all but it doesn’t deserve the A+ Glorification
The dogs of this world not really good at communication
Their harsh barks a part of the demonstration
Their paws mark the world on it’s axis as it finishes it’s rotation
I admire the differentiation
I admire life’s sensation
And the pedestal it puts you on to your elevation
I admire the expectation that the manipulation of degradation is a violation in every other state but we’re special so that’s not apart if your characterization
The blatant Invitation
And the Implication of your obvious fixation
That eventually turns into a heated confrontation
Of right and wrong in this nation
That’s my name.
No need for alteration
My name.
You know me.
No need for verification
And my mom knew me too.
That’s why my name means Honestly, Sacrificer, and Admirer.
Cryston? I admire her.
