I Want My Name Back Poem by Randy McClave

She took my name from which she was known
To her family and friends and also at my home,
So, into my yard I have erected a plaque
And what it reads is, "I want my name back"!

She had lied and cheated while wearing my name
Which brought her both, dishonor and shame,
Pride and faithfulness she always did lack
And that is why I must have my last name back.

I gave her my name with pride and honor
Now I feel sick and disgusted and like a goner,
She used my name as a slanderous attack
So, now I demand that she gives my name back.

With gossip and rumors she will be laden
Maybe she'll use another man's name or her maiden,
She'll only be remembered by the men in the sack
Now I petition her, I must have my surname back.

She has ruined her married name once before
When it was tied with a tramp, adulterer and whore,
Another husband gave her his name when they made a marriage pack
Now I destroyed our license, so I press to have my name back.

She doesn't care of the shame that she brings to another
She lives with guilt like her daughters and her mother,
Pride and self-esteem she does morally lack
I am tied of it all! so, I sued to get my name back

One day with a good woman my name I would share
I want it to be read and worn with pride honor and care,
I don't want it to be known being used by a cheater or a maniac
So, now you should understand why I want my last name back.
