Identity

It is who we are that we identify Lone wolf or person of interest Identity we live we find a soul A being of circumstance of emotions Morals of dignity to be true yourself We find flaw even in a perfect being A creation of the same making Made for purpose but do we live Our potential we lack guidance Unsupervised by adult, living wildly free Showing world identity of different personality Who are we, that to which life turns Or choice words of the minds definition We are only what we allow to live Good and evil battles our heart Our choice we fail as a human race A bible tells story we lead like past Corruptive greed of a society long dead To be what they desire instead what's to be We have choice to choose who we are Even that of criminal before the crime You do the time, circumstances your outcome Your identity,the painting of your own portrait

Tkz Stan...it is true, we are only what we allow. People live in drama or whatnot only to feel they have be part of it. We control who we are as a person. Myself, I live a peaceful life drama free. I choose what I am as well as what goes in my soul, I fall not to society and their ways. I choose to better myself and be that different personality as to set example to how we should be. Only you can choose what makes you in your actions.
