I am who i am and you are who you are.
We go by our preference,
Be it short or be it full
It is a symbol for our sense of selves.
Far be it from others to change this.
They have no right, nor a reason,
To dictate our identity.
Even if we don't really care what we're called,
Wouldn't a nagging thought still be?
Thus initial introduction,
Being an entire concept in itself.
By habit, we name who we are
Or at least who we want to be known as.
I would say my name is Eleanor,
If that was who I am.
If it wasn't so, others would know
Because we are who we are
And we are our names.
