Unseen Definitions

I am defined

By society's boundaries.

By my religion.

By my standard of living.

By my grade.

By my age.

By my gender.

 

But nobody sees

What lies underneath.

I am an artist.

I am a writer.

I am 1/3 of myself.

I am filled with things

that have no voice.

 

The fear and worry

That nearly smothered me.

The hope and love

That brings me back.

 

I am defined by the things inside.
