Acceptance of Identity

What a world we live in All seeking acceptance For who and what we wish to be In this messed up society Male or female or non binary Gender fluid relativity People can should be what they want to be Regardless of acceptance by society This need to have yourself accredited Could be seen as attention seeking and negative Just identify as to the authentic you Don't worry what others think or say about you It's not your business how they perceive you Because you know it's wrong and not who you are in truth It's just an image created within their own minds Of you it does not have to define because it's just their imagination That they are inclined to let run ahead of truth and facts So be authentic in how you act And being who it is you need to be But understand that if you label yourself They will put you in a box, turn the key and you are locked Into that identity and definition for ever more And you could be even more restricted than before.
