my name

 Sarah is what I'm named.
 I often feel ashamed.
 Though it means I'm a princess,
 it does not cope with my senses.
 Millions and I have this name.
 And its not that I don't like being the same,
 I just like to be unique
 like my sense of style, which happens to be chic.

 Alena falls in the middle
 although it may be little.
 I, like my name, stand tall and strong (personi.)
 since I've been hurt for so long.
 Uh-lean-uh, as it is pronounced.
 I'm not ashamed for this to be announced.
As the song "Lean on me when you're not strong,
 and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on."
 As Bill Withers would sing.
 I'm only a phone call away, so give me a ring.

 Last, but certainly not least.
 My last name is the final piece. (Metaphor)
 It has 10 unique letters
 that wrap around you like warm sweaters. (Simile)
 Leighliter is different 
 But yet I'm very content.

  8. I like your format the first stanza was for your first name the second was for your middle name and the third was for that it's different than the other poems I have seen good creativity.

  12. I like how you used your whole name in the poem but you separated it to where it all flowed together, basically giving the whole meaning of your name in one short description. I also like how you used rhyming. I thought it was very good.

  13. I can relate with your feeling about how millions of other people having your name because of how common my name is.

  14. I liked how you listed all of your name since most just did their first or first and last name. Telling us what your name means and how you feel. On how you like your name but you want to be unique.
