Victoria.
A name that I never quite saw as mine
When I hear it I think of arrogance
When I see it, it never shines
The name is meant for elegance
But I find it only confines.
Victoria.
A name my mom loved
A name my dad cherished
I tried to hold it as a beloved
But the effort always perished.
Tori.
A name I discovered young
One that fit me right
One that easily rolled off my tongue
The name that lit me up bright.
Tori.
It is meant to mean bird
Simple and Small
It is what I have always preferred
The name that had me enthralled.
Victoria.
It is meant to mean victory
But it does not seem that way to me
When I hear it I only think of history
Queen Victoria, the one nothing like me.
Tori.
Though it may often be spelled wrong
With a 'y' instead of an 'i'
It makes me feel strong
And like a bird, helps me soar high.
Nice choice of words! Good job:)
