Names

I wonder if, like my pets,
I should have many names
That tell my story.
Hello, my name is Survivor,
Witness, Flotsam-dragged-along,
But you should know,
I became Observer,
and The One Doing Things Differently.
Some changes turned me into
It Cost a lot, on an Emotional Level,
And currently,
I am Brave Enough to Just Be.
Which is hard enough on any
Given day!
