I really like taking personality quizzes and I've become so addicted to them that I've begun to wonder why
I've noticed that its because I've been struggling greatly to feel like I am a part of something
Lately I've been feeling like I don't even know who I am
Knowing that there are others who got the same results as me on some stupid quiz sort of give me a sense of belonging
I am reminded that I exist along with everybody else
It gives me a sense that I am somebody
But the feeling is short lived and I am left still wondering who I am exactly
I could give myself all the labels in the world and I still feel empty
Race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity
These are the things that I was told are supposed to define who I am
But they just don't
I am a nobody living in a world of people who supposedly exist
And if a nobody is all I can really call myself I wonder why I can't just be okay with it
