2:who you are

who you are

you are you

and no one else can determine what you are

not weight
nor size of shirt
not color of skin
nor gender
not your sexuality
nothing

can change this

you are the way you laugh even if you've heard the joke before

you are the comforting smell that trails behind you

you are the love and hope you hand out

you are the rosy perfume you leave on my pillows

you are the way you snort at seemingly unfunny things

you are the way you awkwardly move your hips when your favorite song comes on

you are the way your eyes light up when you see a sweet creature

you are the gasp of light in which you bask in when you wake up

you are the way your t shirt rides up when you stretch

you are the way you hair lies messily on your head

you are the way you yawn widely not caring what others think

you are the way you grab my hand and drag me around to your favorite shops

you are the way your dimples are prominently displayed on your cheeks

you are the way you jump up and down excited, giddy

you are the way you gasp when scared and clutch me close

and no one should tell you otherwise

and if they do they are purely jealous
because you are you
and they are not

they're caught up in brand names and rumours in which they believe define them

and are jealous that you love yourself

because you believe in you

and refuse to believe otherwise

never let anyone tell you who to be defy all odds and love as if that's all you can do
