When you read your name, what do you hear?
I, not long ago, heard words harsh to the ear.
Words ugly to the mouth.
Not now.
Not now do I hear repellent noise in my name.
I hear sweet sounds.
Sounds covered in truth and delight.
Blameless.
Fearless.
Beautiful.
Caring.
Abstract.
Without Blemish.
Radiant.
Codi.
This is who I am.
These are the hums that cling to my name.
These are the words He has declared over my soul.
