Who Are You?

I am not perfect But I have identified my flaws I have bipolar disorder I have depression But I do not let it control me I am Passionate I am loving But I can be spiteful towards those who hurt the people I care for I am out spoken yet open minded I enjoy hearing other people’s opinions But I will research the topic before I choose a stance I refuse to be main stream I will think for myself Even if it’s not accepted I love to learn I will forever be in the pursuit of knowledge But what happens when I’m disliked? Who are they to tell me how to think Who are they to label me Who are they to mock mental instability What makes them think that it’s okay to hurt others What ridiculous sense of entitlement do they think they posses I have cried in the shower so the water would muffle the sounds I have been on the brink of losing myself entirely I shed blood, sweat, and tears to get where I am today I have learned who I am by piecing myself together after being torn apart by other This is who I am Who are you?
