but who are you?
Who are you?
You are not a name
or a weight
or a gender or a sexuality
you are not where you came from
or what you did
you are your favorite book
and that song that always gets stuck in your head
you are the thoughts you have
and the people you surround yourself with
you are not that one math test you failed in freshman year
or the person who stole from the 7/11 down the street
you are not the victim of what you went through
you are the survivor of your own story
