Who Am I? Poem by Gabriel Joel

I am not defined by who I am
I am not defined by what others say I am
I am not defined by the people I hang out with
I am not defined by what Dr. Phil say's
I am defined by the descicions I make
and the actions I take
I am defined by what I say I am
I am defined by what I want others to see
I am defined by the people I 'choose' to hang out with
My actions define me
and my descicions reflect me
the things I dont do
I do it with regret
the things I do
I do and never look back
No matter what the outcome
I will take every oportunity to
laugh when everyone belives I should cry
to live when everyone thinks I should stay
to love even if I get hurt
to take a chance when no one else would
to speak my mind when all others are quite
to dance to a stupid song as people wonder why
to share my heart with all those I meet, even if their not willing to hold it
to learn all the wonders of the univerese
to be insulted with a smile
to writte until I have nothing else to say
to be happy as people stare
To be judged and just proove them wrong
I am defined by my actions
I act therefore I am
