Define Yourself

May 24, 2013
Define yourself Are you blending into the background Like the kids in the back of class Or are you as bright as The pink elephant in the middle of the room Does your mind sit still Like a singer on hiatus Or does it wander Like a child on a playground Will you make difference Or will you let someone take fame for your dream Who are you Who do you want to be What do you want to do Define yourself Before someone writes your dictionary Define yourself Before your reputation is tarnished Define yourself Before you go blend into the back of class Before you turn a dull gray Before you go on hiatus Before you no longer wander Before you no longer wish to dream Define Yourself
