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

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.
