I am...

Definitions are the cause of humanity,

The need for knowledge among our expectations,

How to I define myself when I hardly know who I might become?

I can't see into the future, I have no crystal ball.

I can't travel into the past, no time machine, no Doctor,

I can live in the present, each second my last,

Turning into  my past, I have no time turner to pick up where I left off,

I have my expectations that I must accomplish,

I have my hopes and dreams, that will help me get me far,

But making them a reality, falls only unto me,

If I have the work ethic to get it done at all,

It's like inspiration to me,

As I write this poem to you,

A poem that is a speech,

A speech that is a song,

Different in others opinions, that is what I define as me,

For I might think of myself as something

you might see me as something else,

push the box open with your mind,

our perspectives are different,

but it makes the world so much better a place.
