(un)Defined
Open the dictionary to a place about halfway through the U’s
Scroll down the page and between undamaged and underestimated lies only one word
undefined.
I am undefined
It’s not a hard word to understand, so why am I so misunderstood?
Why do I lie awake at night dreaming the most unimaginable things
and why is no one able to comprehend the nonsense I blurt out
or the words that form when I’m so angry I’m nearly foaming at the mouth?
I have no sense of one particular style
my mother says to “be who you want to be”
but I grew up with society
Society was not the nicest friend to me,
She told me that who I wanted to be simply wasn’t enough
I grew up thinking that who I am was not enough
As I got older, society and me grew much closer.
I thought I should try these new things but they weren’t the best for me
I allowed society to teach me who I was supposed to become
Quickly after I allowed this, I was taken apart and put back into who society wanted me to be
The chains that Society placed around my ankles took toll on me
It was a burden weighing me down and pushing me into a hole I knew I couldn’t get out of,
not alone, anyways.
Society was a monster to me.
But I crawled out of that hole
I got back on my feet
I was capable of breaking those chains and now I walk free
I am undefined because no one word will ever be able to limit me
Nothing will ever make me conform to the ways of society.
You want a word that describes me?
Undefined is the epitome of perfection
It allows me to become the greatest of greats and still have the lowest of lows
I could be the biggest oxymoron or have the worst OCD of any person you’ve ever known
You want a word that describes me?
One word?
I will not be limited to a word, a sentence, a style, or even a grade or even a GPA
I am undefined.
