My Name


Chasity

My name isn’t the most common name nor is it very rare.
 My name was given to me without any reason or a care.
 My name has a great virtue, as used by puritans long ago,
My name symbolizes purity, innocence, and hope.
My name originated as a Latin-American name,
Makes me wonder how it made it here, could it be bane?
When I think or hear about my name, I often feel like a buffoon,
I can’t wait till the day I can change it, for it is still too soon!
I often hear about how I should appreciate my name, for it is precious,
Every time this happens I can’t help acting a little rambunctious.
As you can see my name doesn’t mean too much to me,
Though, it has great meaning behind it.
I wonder who/where or how I would be, if my name were different,
I think my personality that I have today would probably seem absent.

  11. That was really nice. You did a good job expressing your true feelings about it but I think your name is as beautiful as you are. You shouldn't want to change it. It fits you.
