Broad Brush

You do not know
of who I am
and yet you brush me broadly.

These shoes I wear
and all I've seen
     to wit,
has helped to shape me.

Presumptive you
without a clue
your arrogance astounding!

I do not care,
your thought's are skewed
distorting who I might be.

This brush you use
     accusingly,
bristled with ignorance.

Just who I am
or choose to be
  your brush
does not define me!
