Who Defines You

Define yourself,

Who you are,

You are what you see in the mirror,

Do you see yourself?

Or do you see someone else?

 

You are the people around you,

You are the earth you stand on,

 

But more over, 

You are your  parents,

You are your friends,

You are your teachers,

These are the people, 

 

These are the people,

Who mold you!

The people you spend time with,

They are the people you live with,

Teach you, wrong from right. 

 

If the foundation is strong,

The building won’t fall,

But if it is weak,

They say, “The building will break.”
