The Definition of Me (Part 2)
By Current Definition
By Current Definition, I’m a twenty six-year-old adult,
I’m a light-skinned African American,
with tattoos.
By Definition, I’m at a point of an awakening,
Of self-conscience and self-growth.
In my quarter-life crisis. (Four more years to go).
By Definition I care, I care a lot.
I have a deep heart,
It’s a strength and weakness.
I’m confident in my voice,
Even when it shakes,
I’m slowly learning to just flow with the universe,
Knowing things will work in the end.
By definition
I cannot forget my anxiety,
Because that’ll always be a part of me.
Including the depression
That weighs me down in the sea of life.

By definition
I get lost in my thoughts far too often.
I need to learn how to be more present.
By definition, I crave connections,
But I also desire solitude from others.
It's a conflicting tormenting inner battle,
Of knowing my self-worth,
As well as trying to guess has others values me.
But I guess that comes with this depression,
This constant of everlasting source,
Of negative energy.
That's inside of me.
By definition
I’m slowly learning more about myself,
Self care
Self love
Meditation,
Is my new dedication.
By definition
I love me,
I accept I’m not perfect,
I’m flawed,
I’m human.
By definition,
I am me...
