I used to think "my name is pretty lame"
So many girls being called the same,
Made me develop a need to up my game.
But then I asked myself what is the true aim?
I am called after a flower called Jasmine
Sadly the only word that I found that rhymes with that is dragon
Back to the point, or more like the line
It's a flower with a smell that reminds me of home
My grandfather would tell me the whole tree is mine
"You can pick any flower of yours and enjoy it's arome"
But then, things started confusing,
And I started getting confused.
I was taught from a young age,
That my name was written as Yesmine
Yes with an e in the end and it lies in between
The s and the y
And a lot of people would ask me why?
So I started conforming
It was first by letting people write my name the way they please.
I thought maybe I would feel more at ease.
The variations were always fun to see,
Write my name wrong, but at least you know me.
The a took place of the e,
And it was a relationship similar to the one
That you may see in the sky between the moon and the sun.
They were never together always apart
They took each other's places from the very start.
I was surprised that you wrote a poem, I didn't expect anyone to write a creative piece. But also I really enjoyed your poem as you explained the "history" of your name. But the last 3 lines stand out to me the most as I love the comparison that you used.
