They Call Me Suzy

They Call Me Suzy

I don't know why
They call me Suzy.
I really have no idea.
It's starting to get stupid;
I'm sixteen.

Suzy is the name
Of a four-year old.
I'm not four,
Not anymore. My real name
Is Susannah.

I asked Emily--
She's my sister,
My big sister--
To call me Susannah.

"Suzy, why would I
Do that?
You're a Suzy
To me."

It sure makes sense
That she thinks of me
As a little girl.
She forgets I've grown up.

From now on
I'm going to be
A Susannah.

If anyone will listen, of course.
