I am not defined by
the people i hang with,
the clothes i wear,
or the things i do.
I am not defined by
the places i go,
the things i say,
or the mistakes i make.
I am defined as Unique.

I am not defined by
the house i live in,
the things i eat,
or the car i drive.
I am not defined by
my sisters,
or my brothers,
my mother,
or my father.
I am defined
as ME.
