Definition

I am a no name person
A no name person with the body parts of a typical human being
I have been called a Zero,
A nothing,
A fake,
Even an animal
With no name, I have no definition.
Then what defines me?
Am I defined by my color?
If so, should my name be brown?
Am I looked onto by my personality or my smile?
Is it my hips, my figure, and my thighs that define me?
I have everything this world has to offer however'¦..
I have no name.
With my riches and Authentic Gucci clothing; am I defined?
I feel downsized, entirely diminished; like a nothing
I feel like the smallest number
But then again the smallest number can be the greatest accomplishment
So, am I really an accomplishment?
Or am I just a figment of my own world?
Am I playing myself to be something I'm not?
Listen to me!
When I talk,
No one listens
I have been excluded from the invisible group of confidence and pride.
With no confidence to keep me focused, life will push me and I will fall instantly.
With no pride, the whole world is against me and my culture is just a background fantasy
A reverie,
Or maybe my mind's creativity

This is a great poem that gives a perfect example of a person's stream of conscienceness as they try to figure out who they are. I like the way you stay constant throughout the entire poem. You start of questioning yourself and in the end, you're still not sure of the answer (hence the word maybe in the last line). That just goes to show, it's almost a life-long process for a person to figure out who they really are. Great job!
