Identity


You think you can define me,

Like my being is a door,

That a single key unlocks,

Let me tell you something,

I have a universe inside,

An untamed ocean, 

With a constant changing tide,

I am home to endless mountains,

 With peaks that reach the sky,

I feel in the waves of sunshine,

Or in unrelenting rains,

Don't tell me you know me,

That "this right here is what you are",

I am the universe in motion, 

I was born from the stars.
