Emo
Because I'm all alone in this world and therefore addicted to music.
Bitch
Because I've been pushed around so much that I finally learned to fight back.
Poser
Because my music addiction means I act like I have a horrible life.
Asshole
Because God forbid I am not in a joking mood 24/7 like my 'friends.'
These are words that I refuse to let define me.
Words that mean nothing in the long run.
Words that cut me like a blade, only if I let them.
Words that I have let cut me in the past.
Words that cause me to stand up taller after I've been knocked down.
Strong
Because I am not afraid of hard work.
Friendly
Because I love to meet new people and care about that people that matter.
Beautiful
Because I am, whether or not I choose to believe it.
Smart
Because I like to figure things out on my own and love to study at school.
Outgoing
Because I make an effort to learn the stories of everyone around me.
These are words that I am glad to let define me.
Words mean everything in the long run.
Words that heal the wounds other have left, if I let them.
Words that reassure me when I am knocked down.
All these words, good and bad, have made me who I am. Some have hurt, some have helped.
In the end, I'm glad for both the insults, the compliments, and everything in between. I wouldn't be who I am today without them.
