Build Me Higher

I don't know who I am.

I think people determine who they are by others. Really. Possibly. Truly.

There's always this running comparision people have with each other that won't ever fade...

"I know I'm smart because you are not."

"I know I am a leader because my voice shatters your ideas."

I determine who I am by how I was raised, who my role models are (if such a thing even exists) -

but in all honesty, i feel that there is no true me. I am what others' words have built me to be.
