Who I am... <br />Is beyond my <br />Hair <br />Eyes <br />Teeth <br />Weight <br />Height <br />Shoe size <br />Jean size <br />Blood type <br />Skin type <br />Gender <br />Nationality <br />Address <br />GPA <br />Social Security Number <br /> <br />If I were to label myself... <br />I would run around with post-it notes covering every inch of my body. <br />For I am <br />Narcissistic, yet altruistic <br />Intuitive yet doubting <br />Focused, yet ambivalent <br />I am an Empiricist, <br />A Skeptic, <br />Agnostic, but moral <br />Derogatory, but eloquent <br />Intelligent, yet ignorant <br />Well-spoken, but not well-read <br />Arrogant, but modest <br />Outspoken, but shy <br />An extroverted introvert <br />With an inferior complex about a superior complex <br />I have a one-sided Oedipus complex, <br />My mother does not concern me <br />And in order for me to carry on all these labels, <br />I would literally be bipolar, <br />A walking contradiction <br />An anomaly to all those trying to label everything and anything to restrict it, <br />Narrow it down <br /> <br />Well, <br />Narrow this down. <br />You'll never get it. <br />For the only label I can ever carry is that of 'human' <br />And that makes me versatile <br />Malleable, <br />Susceptible to inevitable change <br />An internal chameleon <br />That you will never be able to dissect.<br /><br />Amanda Saveley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/define-this/
