“We define ourselves
with our own perceptions,
not anyone else's -
unless we choose to accept them.
We define ourselves
when we are mindful
with the thoughts
we collect about who we are.
We define ourselves
when we take responsibility
for the beliefs
we choose to hold.
We define ourselves
by the actions
we choose to take.
Nobody can define us,
in our own minds,
without our permission.
We define ourselves.”
