What's in a Name?
by Bria
Sunday, March 15, 1998


Leia Organa of the Royal House of Alderaan.
That is my name, yet it is not.
Princess. Senator. Your Highness.
I am also a Skywalker.
Yet, none of these names are *me*

So many times, late at night,
I long to just be me.
Everyone expects so much of me,
they want to see what they expect to see.
Doesn't anyone want to know the real *me*?

Maybe someday, if I'm lucky
I meet someone who cares.
Someone who can accept me for who I am,
Leia.
Is that too much to ask?
