My Name Was Ignorance
Please understand,
my name was never stupid.
Struggling with a concept,
making myself learn
in hopes of reaching you.
Once named ignorance,
I walked about blindly.
It took a moment
of culpability
to change me,
finding that I hurt
those around me.
Changing who I was,
renaming my soul
for me to see clearly.
Educated by life,
finding that blindness
is none to nice,
I found my name to be
Empathy.
