Names Poem by Leigh Ladd

Ever since you called me those names,
It has made me want to do nothing,
But hang my head in shame.

I don't think that I really deserved it,
Merely defending myself,
I was only climbing out of the pit.

Ever since then I have been thinking,
Of what I could call you,
But that is not my being.

I think you deserve to be trashed,
And rightfully so,
So this will be the way I will lash.

Ever since you called me that name,
It has made me want to do nothing,
But regain my own fame.
