What could be said about the person perceive us to be?
I guess it can be said others will always try to paint who we are supposed to be
Through the perceptions they have off first glance
When someone wants to choose who you will be is considered an identity
It is impossible to be who we set out to be when someone's else gives us an identity
This is a predicament that can be fixed
You can right the wrongs of the past
But it's the matter of doing it while there is still time
Identity can be a complicated thing indeed
Many people will judge you based on the way you are perceived
If not, they will stare at you sideways to figure out what it means
Identity
A way to define ourselves
A way to prove our worth
To be able to be different than the rest
To push the boundaries of this suffocating society
To be one of a kind
The rarest card in the deck
How can we change an already destined fate that was made by someone else?
There is a way but it's one that brings pain
One that will leave you excluded from the rest
Isolate yourself from all the things that cause distress
Things that cloud you vision
It will be painful
And it won't be easy
Many will love you many will hate you
But the people that "pay no mind" are the ones watching from a far
Wondering how you were able to change who you are
Change the state others have put you in
To find your true identity
And chase the dreams you always wanted to reach
This is what it takes to make your own identity
