my name is

my name that was given to me was pain
i had lied to myself for years
trying to fight the truth
hated everyone for what happened
knowing no one can change it
only i can move forward
tomorrow my name will be change
looking forward
to depart from the past
to take a new look on life
to change my name from shy
to show i can be brave
to not hide behind the wall
today my name will change to outgoing
to spring and be me
even though people think my name is self centered
that doesn't care about her family
but that's not me and never will be
what they don't know is i want to care for
them but they didn't treat me as their own child
so how am i suppose to
my name is secretly fear
of everyday that heads my way
to wake up in the morning and say hello to them again
to see the horrors of the world itself
inside all of my names
i am called hope to break free from everything
i am called strength to carry through everyday
i am called love towards everyone no matter what
