The name Makenna
is printed in thick black ink
on my birth certificate
It’s my official name
But no matter how many
people say it’s pretty
I dislike it with a Burning Passion
I’ve always dreamed of something
more exotic
more majestic
something that should belong to a
Princess
or at least something wacky
like Zelena, Evangeline, or Lilija
But No.
Makenna sounds like an unnatural
crossbreed equal to an aligunkey
besides it’s never on one of those
cheap keychains at a gas station
Also, my nicknames are always something strange
Mac-ina-cheese or MaCan-opener
Not Cool.
But…I’ve always wanted an
exotic, majestic, and wacky name
and Makenna is just that!
How many people have the name Makenna?
Do they spell it like mine?
I have to have my keychains specially made.
My nicknames are so original!
Makenna is a unique crossbreed
better than an aligunkey.
Ink on a piece of paper was
nothing
until I put meaning behind it
Makenna may just be a name
but it’s my name
It makes me…me
