My Name

Amanda Michelle
         
My mom chose my name years in advance,
I wonder how she picked,
I think she was tricked.

My name means lovable,
I am anything but,
I have a temper that sometimes cuts.

The asperities,
I am only one of the many who turn to see,
If it is somebody who calls to me.

My name is so rudimentary that it is difficult,
Nobody remembers it, I don’t mind
It just means that they are blind.

I really don’t worry,
Maybe my mom knew what she was doing,
Like the sky, it is worth viewing.

There are six,
You can not change one letter,
I suppose it could not be better.

Then comes my middle name,
I sometimes doubt
What it’s about.

It sounds good together,
A match made well,
Flowing like water past a shell.

I know my name now,
She chose true,
It is unremitting yet always new.

  19. I loved where you said, they must be blind! That's awesome because there are so many things the eyes can not see, just like how unique you are. Can be interpreted differently, from different perspectives, very cute! :)
