Shakespeare said
"What's in a name?"
For a rose does not know
The name by which she is called.
Regardless she follows her path
As she grows, blossoms and thrives;
Oblivious to a name that does not
Define her destiny.
I ask you
"What's in a name?"
For it is not the name that defines you:
It is you who defines the name.
Regardless of labels, you have the power
To grow, blossom and thrive;
So pay no heed to names that do not
Define your destiny.
