Identity is about struggle <br />Identity is about grasping for a sense of who you are <br />In spite of the reflected mirrors of others <br />Through the shared experiences of others. <br />It’s about being strong enough to decipher the riddle of right and wrong. <br />It’s about knowing your weak and knowing you can be strong. <br />It’s about your words actions and reactions. <br />It’s about the team you support <br />And what sport you play <br />The hobby which you do <br />The girl or boy you woo or go out with <br />The clothes you wear, <br />It’s about heritage <br />Where you’re born <br />Family trees <br />Respect and responsibility <br />Social norms <br />Out groups and in-groups <br />It can be about the colour of your skin <br />More often it’s about the thoughts we have within the image inside and outside the bubble of who we are ingrained and contained in our soul!<br /><br />Daniel Hooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-about-identity/
