Defined

I look in a mirror

I love what I see

A confident, young woman

Uncontrolled and runs free

I'm not what you think I am

Your assumptions are false

Your perception incorrect

Not one of your defaults

You don't know me

You have no clue

Have several ideas

None of which are true

You make me question myself

Based on your thought

Every syllable you speak

Pains me like a shot

Your mouth runs continuously to speak your mind

Each word a dagger

Chiseling away until I'm defined

I'm no longer what I was

But I haven't changed

The words you've spoken

Have people's thoughts rearranged

I find myself slipping

I can't tell if you lied

'Cause when I look in the mirror

I see the old me has died
