My Idenitity Can't Be Defined: I am... Scholarship Slam
My identity can't be defined
By simplistic, pedestrian words
You couldn't flip to my page in a dictionary
Because I can not be defined
Let alone on a single page
If words alone could define me
I would take up hundreds of pages
Thousands of pages
I identify
With a variety of terms
But just because I label myself
Does not mean I am contained inside these words:
Genderfluid, Sapiosexual,
Jewish, and somewhat Logical,
Bisexual but almost Pansexual
I connect with those terms
But they don't summarize me
They're just part of my core
The center of who I am
The beginning of a hundred-page definition
Of Who Is That Person Called Ari
Who Is That Person With The Brown Hair, and Blue Eyes
Who Is That Person With The Freckles and the Curved Figure
Who Is That Person With
Confidence and Swagger
With exaggerated expressions and a fierce sense-of-self
With strong opinions and obvious feminism
Who Is That Person
Standing Over There
That person, I say, is someone who
Can't Be Defined.
