These Don't Define Me


I have scars

I have demons

I have flaws

But these don't define me

What I have conquered,

That gave me these scars,

What I have vanquished,

That created those demons

What I see beyond the flaws

That's what defines me.

I am what I make of myself.

I will not back down, no matter the circumstance.
