A Name?
"I have many names."

I have been called many names 
Not all of them fit me well
I know too well that I was levelled blame 
But time will always tell
Some words were screamed at me in rage
By angry sires
In one word I experienced a hell
I felt the raging fires
The worth that burned on their tongues
The heat deep in their hearts
It induced me find the way to separate
And live far apart
Poem reminiscing the abusive names I was called while growing up.
For Heart-of-Poetry prompt on names.
