The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Who am I?

Without you I am nothing, I know,

But what in my life do I have to show.

For who I am?

 

What is it,

That makes me unique, something to love.

The sum of my hopes, importance I have

For my ideals.

 

When they fall,

How could they be; I still stand you see,

In the ruins of identity,

Not knowing myself.

It is so dangerous to define yourself by someone else. In doing so, you not only give them power over you, but you place the burden of your identity onto them.

That can crush some relationships under its weight, and lead to co-dependent merging in others...

What is it,

That makes me unique, something to love.
