My Identity
What is it defines us?
The shadows of or past
Perhaps its all our mistakes,
Or better yet maybe its society that that defines us.
Are we so easily manipulated that we let these things define us.
Do we not have a say in who we are? Do we not have a voice?
Why is it that our faults are the focus of our being?
It's time for us to have a say, time for us to be who we want to be.
Ask yourself who are? Who do you want be?
Block out the sound of society.
Forget you mistakes.
Leave the shadows behind you where they lay.
Don't let your past define you.
Face your mistakes ,
forget you past.
Be the one that defines yourself.
