Nicknames

He said he'd called me Danie Rae,

And I'm like damn, its not everyday

That you come across a good nickname

That takes you away,

Not changing you into some alter-ego

Or a split personality

But damn, Danie Rae,

Seemed to describe me naturally

As for right now, or at least today.

He said that my name would be Nikki D
Because it was obviously
For the freak in me
But i clung because for once the
Middle got a chance to
Take first run
Like the middle child's first
moment
in the sun
Spotlight
It's relatable, a nickname done right
