From the moment you hear a cry.
That's the moment you are identified.
That's the moment you become you.
The moment I become me.
A story untold to the world.
That a new baby was born.
A girl named Elsa.
That was put here to tell the truth
and every footstep I took
lead to that special feeling.
That I was one of a kind.
"Elsa! Elsa! Elsa!"
An exotic name they said.
Never heard before.
Until the wind and snow came
and I was told to Let it go!
How excited I was to hear my name!
Until a snowman Olaf came.
"No! No! No," I exclaimed.
I'm not a snow queen as you think.
With a knock on my door.
All I could hear was singing
to a terrible tune
that terrified me.
You are snow! You are ice!
No I'm not! I'm just nice!
But please Elsa don't you see?
That's what your name means!
I was special until the storm came.
Now I wont be the same,
because now when I say my name
a look of disappointment crosses their face.
As if to believe I speak lies.
When that very movie ruined my life.
Billions of girls would come.
All with the same name as me.
And even with that
people still ask,
Elisa? Lisa? Alicia?
Its Elsa I say.
Elsa? What a beautiful name.
My cheeks start to stretch.
As my smile grows as big as the sea.
Thank you I say.
Truth? Snow? God's oath?
The meaning of my name
has nothing to do
with the actions I chose.
From the moment you hear a cry.
That's the moment you are identified.
That's when you become you.
When you know what you're destined to do.

ReplyDeleteWow just wow. That was a very deep poem. I love how you used part of the movie frozen as a reference to your name
ReplyDeleteI loved how you used your name and compared it to the movie frozen. Whenever I think of your name I think of that movie, I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteYour poem was deep, I really like how you described the meaning and uniqueness of your name
ReplyDeleteElsa,
ReplyDeleteNow I feel bad for meeting you and saying, "my son would love to meet you because for Frozen"
Sorry.
Elisa your poem was amazing!!!!! Really showed how special your name truly is. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that you compared your name with the movie Frozen very comical and I like that you didn't care what the meaning of your name was but the fact that what you do matters.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the whole theme of Frozen in your poem, saying that's not who you are just because that is your name. It all fit really well together and it was probably one of my favorite poems so far.
ReplyDeleteGenius way to put your name in frozen since you share the same name with one of the main characters it was unique and you made your poem have a different style then normal excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you introduced the movie frozen but still stayed on topic, it really flowed with your poem.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. I like how put "Frozen" in your poem and told your feelings on it. Your name is beautiful. ^\\\^
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny how you keep saying that frozen ruined your life. I also liked how you said the meaning of your name has nothing to do with the actions you chose.
ReplyDeleteVery nice use of words.i liked how you started from the very beginning till present day great job.
ReplyDeleteI love how you wrote about Frozen in your poem and reflected on how you felt about the main character having you name. Your poem is awesome.
