Names-- what do they mean to you?

No Peters were harmed in the production of this poem

Names are nothing but expectations.

If your name is Peter, they expect you

to be a protector, a rock, but in reality

every Peter I've ever met was an asshole,

So I guess now if I meet you, even if

you're nice at first, I know all Peters

are assholes, and when you show your

true colors, I won't be surprised in the least.

You can blame it on your parents,

they had all this wishful thinking

before you were even born,

"Yeah, Peter's gonna be a good guy."

and they hadn't even met you yet.

So your assholiness was only aggravated

because you were a constant source

of disappointment, but I guess that's what I

expected from you anyway, Peter.

Now whether or not you continue

to meet my expectations or your

parents'... That's up to you. I know

deep down inside you're an asshole,

but hey, if you prove me wrong,

then I'd be the asshole, just writing

bad poems about you on the internet.

I get it, it's alot to live up to, but

at least your name isn't Alexander.
