The Name is Zoe!

'I've been trying to tell you,
  this is my name!'

'No, it's not the one my mother gave me.
  It's the one I gave myself.'

'Why?'

'Because it reflects me,
  who I am
  how I feel
  but more...'

'It reminds me of the part
  of self that I repress,
  hold back, judge...'

'It is my dancer, my singer,
  my creative spirit
  my longing to be
  inside music, art, dance,
  beauty'

'Yes, to be inside it,
  feeling it wash around me,
  feeling it lift me off my feet
  and free my spirit to fly.'

'That's Zoe.
  That's me.'

'Can you see her?
  Me?'
