Who You Are
They call you mad and
paranoid
And think you are somewhat
annoyed.
A flying kite or a falling
star?
Your life defines who you
really are.
They waste their times to
call you names;
For a star shall rise devoid
of shame.
A soaring eagle or a falling
dove?
You are that heart so filled
with love.
They define your time as the
dynamite;
That the sun shall surely
kill the kite.
A harmless fly or a stinging
bee?
You define the *who* you want
to be.
