Who Are You?
Who are you? Who are you to tell me who I am?
How I’m feeling, what I believe
Who gave you the right to label me, brand me, define me,
When you can’t even define yourself
Who are you to me?
Who am I to you?
I am “that person”
The person that you label because they are different
Because they are short, tall, fat skinny, black, white
Because they are sporty, artistic, shy, or outgoing
Am I the person you don’t want to waste your time
getting to know because you accepted what others told you,
Am I the person who will say something that will change the world?
You can categorize me, you can stencil words on me that you think define who I am.
Only, I am undefined.
You will never be able to capture who I am with one word,
But how about you try three, “I am me.”
I am not you, or him, or her
I am me
Who are you?
