You
YOU is not their perception
YOU is not their opinions
YOU is not their views
Yet we allow them to define who YOU is
we loose YOU through them
When we allow them to decide who YOU is
When their opinion matters more than yours
When we believe their view of YOU
YOU IS NOT DEFINED BY THEM
ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHO YOU IS
But who am i to tell YOU who YOU is
YOU is not their opinions
YOU is not their views
Yet we allow them to define who YOU is
we loose YOU through them
When we allow them to decide who YOU is
When their opinion matters more than yours
When we believe their view of YOU
YOU IS NOT DEFINED BY THEM
ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHO YOU IS
But who am i to tell YOU who YOU is

Love that last line! Good message here and reminder that no one should define us.

One of the most common of the existential questions.
Who am I?
Each person always has a different answer.
Quite an important contribution to the discussion.

There’s a message here I can seriously get behind. Far too many people are afraid of what other people think, and well… fuck those idiots.
