Nobody has the exact same.
It is spoken with questions hovering inside
Said with complaint
Butchered in every possible way when pronounced.
My name,
Is unique
People say it with different meanings
They say it as if it may mean nothing
I love it,
I love my name,
Mariah.

this piece is something that means something to me because throughout my life people have miss pronounced my name many ways, even my last name, mulcahy. I wrote this kinda out of the blue but, it does mean something to me.
