Serenity

Samariah M. 

My name comes from depression 

My names comes from the faith I bring to this world

Serenity means peace, untroubled, calm

I am your Serenity, my name means something I am not. 

My mom gave me my auntie’s middle name. 

She was her only hope. 

My mom knew this would be my name when I came out and a year 

later I am 1. 

I bring peace into my mom’s life. 

Serenity, Serenity, Serenity they say 

When people hear Serenity, they say it’s cute not knowing what it means. 

My name is my name and nobody else’s

My name don’t match my personality, but it match the way I look 

Serenity they say, I am meant to be your peace. 

Serenity they say, I am meant to be your calm person

Serenity they say, it’s such a cute name. 

I am you Serenity, I bring peace.
