things that define us

what defines a person?
what makes them, them
the person that we see

is it physical stregnth?
the ability to dominate others
and cause physical harm?

no, it is our past experiences
and present problems
that defines us as who we are

all of the hardships we have had to face
the cruelty
the constant abuse

the name calling
and the swearing
the many fights

but this only makes us stronger
we have the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel
we can get through all of the problems
no matter how big they are

this is what defines a person
the problems we face and beat
the stronger we become

this is what truly makes someone strong
because what cant kill us,
will only make us stronger
