My Name, a vigmette

It sounds old and worn, like a rocking horse that’s been passed down through generations. When spoken alone it sounds so dull. But if you add something more, it can sound like a summer breeze. So natural and pleasant.
When I hear the sound of my full name, a panic rushes over me, like a wave over the sandy beaches. It means I’ve done something wrong. I don’t like my name. The sound of it makes feel as if it belongs to someone else. Someone more calm and collected, while I am wild and free spirited.
It was once my aunt’s name. But now it is mine, whether I want it or not. My name is Katherine. It is a maroon color. Nothing unique about how it looks. Just plain and boring. It doesn’t fit me. When I am around people I know, they call me Katie. Such a simple name. It is a yellow name that has been decorated in pink. There is more life to it. It is like the number 5. Right in the middle.
I would not change my name for anything in the world. Even if I don’t like it, it means something to my mother, and that means so much more to me than having any name in the world. But I think that if I had the choice of what to name me, I would have liked it to be Samantha, Sammi for short.
My name is Katherine, but I am known as Katie. It is who I am, and who I will always be. It defines the very essence of my soul. It is a Greek name that means pure.


This is a vignette that I wrote for a class

Some of my Early Poems

Darkness

Darkness is lonely and cold,
At least it's not to bold.
Remembering what's left behind,
Knowing what's to come isn't knid.
Never again to see the light,
Everything now gone from my sight.
Slipping slowly away,
Slowly slipping from the day.

I ge sick just from the sight of you,

But I can't stop loving you.

I just want to leave you behind,

But can't get you out of my mind.

I'm always trying,

To keep from crying.

I cant get away from the pain,

But if I don't, I think I will go insane.

These were my two favorites that I wrote in the ninth grade. I have since written more, but I have yet to finish them. And I probably have lost them. Let me know what you think :)
