I loved and hated Emily
Simply the combination of letters itself that spells E-M-I-L-Y
Loved it because simply, it is
My name
That sums up and carry all of my identity
 
I am me when i am Emily
Not a sister, not a student, not a daughter,
Not anyone else
 
The one that 
Hugs her cat
Even hugging it made her sneeze all day
The one that
Suffer from looking at numbers and chemical notations
The one that
Could be invisible
The one that
Could be heard
 
Hated it because simply it sounds 
Mediocre, swallowed up in the sea of Emily
There are 5 Emilys in my primary school
4 Emilys in my middle school
 
Two of my best friend is called emily
The Tick-tok video critique it as the worst name
Cuz it is just too common
Too common
 
But E-M-I-L-Y has become an inseparable part of me
So AM I COMMON?
 
I asked myself
Over and over again
Every time I have the thought of changing my name

But I’ve never thought of a better one
I’m still Emily
For one, two, seventeen years
Because i believe one day i will love
The uncommon-ness under the common name.
