Why do you flinch when they say your name?
Why is it unfamiliar?
Why does it punch you in the gut?
Why do you spew hate?
Why do you crave for them to call your name?
Why do you want it to belong to their tongue?
Why does it sound new and yet so familiar?
Why does it feel like your heart's wrapped by their cotton hands?
When will they mean it?
When will they mend you?
When will your name have meaning?
When will your name be safe?
