Joseph,
Joseph is me.
Joseph Rafael Gonzalez is who I will always be.
No one can change it, because this is me.
My name, originating from the bible, is where Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob, and his mother Rachel, was loved by God and the favorite son of Jacob.
My mother believes in God and loves him very much,
So, she wanted a name for me that was loved by God as such.
Hated by others,
Mainly his brothers.
Who sent him to Israel,
Where he was a prisoner in exile.
He raised in rankings,
And was in charge a possible famine outbreak there.
Later on, as we all know.
He was the husband of Mary, and father of Jesus.
That is not me,
Nor who I will be.
But, I will create my own story,
And one day find my Mary.
Right now I look at my name's history,
And create my own poetry.
While thinking about who I will be.
And I will be 100% me.
-Joseph Gonzalez
