Just who am I?
A name millions use
To be one of a kind,
But yet COMMON?
Gods beloved gift from god
Impish, pretty, complex, kind, caring, special, but yet deadly?
I am most of these things,
yet not all.
I don't care about being pretty,
I don't always dress on point
I don't care about most
I don't always be so kind
and yet definitely NOT deadly
But who am I?
I have my days where I am so kind
I have my days where I care so much
I have my days where I like to dress nice
and some may say I am deadly
at times
Just who am I?
My one and only mom did not name me
wish she had
I am not sure of the reason why?
I am full Mexican
just so you know
I am not Hebrew
where my name derives
no do I know what "Hebrew" is
Should I look into it?
not that I care so
I go by different names
friends, family told me so
many call me Jessica
but since a young baby girl
My family has called me Yessika.
I love how you asked questions about what the meaning of your name was sposed to mean and then you stated how you are and how you feel yes yessika yes keep up the phenomenal work
ReplyDeleteVery nice poem and it was very emotional.
ReplyDeleteYou are finally claiming that you are Mexican lol. Love your poem yessica ! You really told us about yourself ! :) good job chica
ReplyDeleteI like how you put in your name history of your mom not naming you and still stayed on the topic of who you are
ReplyDeleteI liked how you made this about you and how you interpret your name, you strive to be different then what is said about you
ReplyDeleteI like how you completely contradicted what your name means and you don't think that your name fits your personality.
ReplyDeleteI like the tone in your story despite you saying it was negative I felt it was positive your saying that your like what your name stands for but yet your you at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI like how you included that your family calls you Yessika and how you said that your name is used to be one in a kind but it's also common.
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteWell done! I really liked the pattern you used in your poem. Certain formats were repeated throughout each stanza. Keep up the hard work.
I didn't get into this poem as much. Sorry. ;-;
ReplyDeleteI did like how you kept asking question asking who you were then answering those by describing yourself to people...and hopfully you aren't dangerous. ^u^
DeleteReally thought your name was yessiika but I guess not but I guess it is, so it's yessiika but anyways loved your poem and the story it came from!!!!!!! GREATTTTTTT JOB !!!!
ReplyDeleteI like how you kept saying who am I and then describing something about yourself because it was like you were saying I don't need to know on who you THINK I am but who I KNOW I am.
ReplyDeleteYou stated so many great meanings to your name. They do describe you in many ways. (But hopefully not deadly)
ReplyDeleteVery good poem you should've switched your no with a nor even though it still makes sense and your poem was great :) ;)
ReplyDeleteI really liked the constant referring to who am I and as the poem progressed you slowly told who you really are
ReplyDeleteI can relate with your mom not naming you because my mom didn't name me either.
