You. Can't. Define. Me.


I don't fit into a fucking category

I don't have a fucking squad

I come and go and no one minds too fucking terribly

 

I am not defined my fucking social status: middle class

I am not defined by my fucking race: hispanic, caucasian

I am not definded by my fucking sexuality: straight

I am not defined by my fucking age: 17, 18 in a month

I am not defined by the fucking sport I do: Dance, you probably don't care anyways

 

I am not defined by the number of boys I've fucking kissed: fifteen, exactly.

I'm not defined by my fucking grade point average: 3.789

I am not defined by the fucking asshole who decided I wasn't good enough for him

And moved on to my best friend

twice.

 

I am not defined by my parents' fucking marital status: Divorced.

I am not defined by the amount of fucking siblings I have: 1, plus 4 almost step brothers

I am not defined by the fucking music I listen to: Country and rock, sometimes pop.

I'm not defined by my fears: heights, spiders, snakes

I'm not defined by the way I fucking dress: mostly plaid shirts and jeans

I'm not fucking defined by my fucking nail polish: always black

I'm not defined by the people who gave up on me: too many to count

 

I'm not defined

I am

undefinable

I'm too diverse

And I don't mean to curse

so much 

it's just

You. Can't. Define. Me.
