What's in a Name?
by Jared OrlandoGrace, she's falling fast
Faith is becoming impatient.
While Melody is lacking creativity,
Destiny is struggling to prioritize.
Charity is becoming a little too greedy
And Jasmine is overlooked;
Prudence is juggling ethics
And Ruby is loosing her shine.
Serenity is just too agitated, and it seems
Belle is shedding self-esteem.
We are named to secure our futures
But we can never seem to get it right.
