Redefined

I looked at life through other peoples eyes
Their picture
Their definition
They told me what was
They defined what should be
I jumped fully into their restriction
Their box
Bolted in
Beaten down
When living, breathing, moving life didn’t fit
Didn’t comply with what should be
According to them
Their image
Twisted, distorted
Like a fun house mirror
Making me feel a lack
Making me feel like something was wrong
With me
With my world
Until wisdom
Shattered their glass
My world is not theirs
My definition
Does not have to be theirs
Redefining my world
To the greatness that is already me
Freedom
No longer bound by them
But living me
