SHAYNE

Shayne,
Doesn't fit my skin but fits me,
When they hear my name most think of me.
Given a little flavor with the added Y,
Added that it's already rare you get one unique guy.
Gods gracious is what it stands for,
Other meanings I'm sure there's plenty more.
But that particular one I claim,
It brings happiness and positiveness to my name.
I have a nickname like everyone should,
It started in 4th grade with sugg.
On the basketball court is where I heard it,
"Go get em sugg" is what my coach blurted.
Ever since then it has been part of my quota,
Now everyone calls me Shayne, Sugg, or Suga. 
Since my family is mostly short,
It's amazing that small Shayne grew to be six foot sugg and a beast on the court.
It's like me candy on holloween I'd never share it,
Like a first love you can never replace it.
The way my name rolls off the tongue has something perfect abou it,
It makes me who I am I would be nothing without it.
From the slithering S to the perfectly curled Y,
It brings warmth to my soul like the burning sun in the blue ski.
No matter what my name is my name,
Nothing will change I will forever be Sugashayne.

  12. The spelling of your name is unique. I like that in the beginning, you said whenever most people hear the name, they think of you.

  13. Shayne,
    Awesome job! I like how you state your name is like your candy on halloween and when I asked you for a piece of candy today, you didn't share.

  14. "Positiveness" would probably sound better as "positivity." I like your rhyme scheme. I also quite like how you compared your name to candy on Halloween.

  16. Sixth line from the bottom add a t to abou. Ninth line from the bottom I liked how you showed the progression from short Shayne to tall Sugg.
