You Define You

You Define You

Inundated by waterfalls of opinions

Furthermore, buried under an avalanche of impositions

Our choice of life segmented by those dressed in haughtiness 

Our future dictated by the ones who write with a sour ink of judgment

You are as good as your beauty is, the poison of society

You cannot handle important responsibilities, the detrimental employer

Some of us lived their lives according to their partner’s dreams

Others complied with the wish of their families

Ceramic statues moulded into fake beings

Our spirits screaming to be free 

Free to follow our dreams

Free to adorn our bodies with jewels made of colourful leaves

Free to choose who we long to be

Longing to create our own destinies

Charisma shall shine through our outré creativity and art

Its deep meaning captured by the wise who can read between the lines

Who knows you better than you do?

Who has the right to put a stamp on you?

Will you abide or defy?

This reminded me of your words.

This is beautiful! I truly love this line: "Free to adorn our bodies with jewels made of colourful leaves"

The imagery is wonderful!
