Justified

Ask me who or what I am 
And I will not tell you,
I will show you.
My name does not define me,
It only gives a title 
To my greatness.
You'll hear my name
As it whispers in the wind
And it will remind you of
Who I am and all I've done.
But if you ask someone
Who I am
They will speak to you
With words that do me
No justice.
For it is not words that
Can accurately describe me
For words portray only
Second hand observations.
If you truly want to know
Who I am then witness my 
Greatness and view my
Depth and you too shall know
That I am great and nothing
Could ever do me justice
But ME!
