MY name

My name, Christopher

Christopher, its sound is powerful with a sting. yet smooth with its undermining tone. it's feeling is as solid and cold as steel, yet warm and comfortable to its touch. When I hear the call of my name I turn to answer its call like a phone ringing that has an urgent message. The memories in which this name holds are ones of hope to despair. Happiness to sorrow. The memories of rising and falling, yet it also holds aspiration of dreams. Dreams that turned into goals. goals that became life long challenges. From the memories of this name came a sense of serenity and peace. Peace in which comforts me, Shields me from the anarchy of my name. The anarchy that also came with this name. Its memories of pain that came from its past, hurts like a boxers jab. Quick and steady. Its flow, rather than its rush of emotions are so strong that it becomes a fatal blow to me, critical condition. Even though the ups and downs of this name are difficult, it has given me one thing that no one else has. That is me, me as a person. A person that's like no other, a regular but different human being. Whether it be a buffoon to a dunce, to a problem solver to a instigator. I am me and the name Christopher Whitney, belongs to me.

  17. Well done . I like how you mentioned your name as has yet a smoothing tone, because when I hear your name or see you I think of a very calm wave .( if that makes sense)
