What does it mean to be me?

It means

I have more than one nationality

I have lived half of my life in one country

Another half in an another

I have no siblings

I have no known cousins

I have maternal grandparents

That I barely talk to

I wished I didn't have to talk to them

I had two paternal grandparents

That I would call on the phone all the time

But now it is only down to one I have to call

The other I can talk to without getting a reply

What else does it mean to be me?

It means

I compete in sports actively

I study academics greatly

It means

I don't have a social life

I am excited to go to school

It's the only time I see my friends

It means

My trust level used to be very high for others

But then I let myself fall into a trap

To only have my heart broken

To only have my spirit trodden on

To only have thought devils occupying my brain

To only fondle with a knife

It means

I have learned to hide my real emotions

Create a new image of who I am to others

To ensure it can't happen again

It means

My trust level is extremely low when I first start conversing

And it will only rise based on actions of others

Not their words inside their promises

What does it mean to be me?

The life I have lived

It defines me.

The process my mind and body has gone through

To get to where I am today

It defines me.

The acheivments I have

The downfalls I have hardened through

They all define me.

Others words

Others thoughts of me

Others opinions

They do not define me.

I define me.
