I am - Defined


I am

Defined

Not by the color of my hair or my skin or the way I dress.

I am defined

Not by my gender or my sexuality.

I am

Not

Defined by you

Or you.

I am,

However,

Defined by the way I impact

Another life

In a positive way.

I am defined by the experiences,

By the hurt

That has made me

Full of empathy.

I am defined by how much

I do

Or how much

I care.
