My name
Mya
History of me
The day I came to be
Turned around
Barely breathing
Not remembering
Slowly that followed
Laughing
Smiling
Cooing
Holding
For a mother a name will come
Beautiful one
The meaning of me
MY-ah
A name of honey
Velvet
Silk
A name that rolls off the tongue
To me
It's a symbol
For unique
The brave
The whisper of the wind
The meaning of me
The oohs and aahs of the crowd
The traits of gold
Rare and valuable
The story of me
Mya
A name that only fits the chosen
But only a few
That's it's story
Mya
The Origin of Indian mythology
The name of a beautiful goddess
The last thing
Who truly is me?
The name?
Or the words?
Both are me
The amazing
Goddess
Rare
Velvet
Oohs and aahs
Are every single bit of me
And I love every part of me
I am
Mya
