So goes the question of identity
What makes a person fundamentally
The question that determines my identity
Who am I
And who I’ve been
If I say yes, is my answer right?
It’s how you see me
If I say no, is my answer wrong?
Different than who I seem to be
The people my body represents
The history that my mind cannot repress
The power that my soul seems to possess
How many waves can I make for myself
It’s the culture in my hands that makes me perplexed
For part of my identity is passed form one generation to the next
But
The people that my gender represents
The knowledge my mind seems to possess
The passion that my soul cannot suppress
How many waves can I make for myself
It’s the ideas and words that I believe in that makes me want to express
For it’s the defiance of society that shows to impress
So I’ll ask again
Who am I
Is my identity
How you see me to be
Or do I get to choose
Who I see in me
