Reshaping Who We Are [Who We Could Be]

let us pose the question of who we are,
i'd like to think i know who I am,
where it is i'm going, what it is i'm doing.
but how can i be absolutely sure?
what if my overall perception by other people is not how i would choose to perceive myself?
can i be who i want to be or is it that i'm obligated to be what other people want me to be?
for example if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if that person finds no worth or value,
am i doomed to be nothing more than rubbish, unusable, unwanted?
maybe i can find value and worth someday.
maybe i can find exuberance and splendor.
maybe one day i can prove them wrong.
i say feed the insatiable, give them what it is they can't enough of.
allow them to feed upon the weak,
allow them to demonstrate their destructive behavior!
yet may they one day see the error of their ways,
even so may they look upon the past with a magnifying glass in protest and disgust.
after all who are they to judge?
after all who are they to say?
after all who are they?
they are who I make them.
and to ye i say, you are frigid, you are pale, you are in pain.
i know that you are because, not only is beauty in the eye of the beholder,
but all other aspects of persona and being.
i can shape you to be as i wish.
and with all my will,
and with all my want,
and with all my words,
i will redefine your being into a shapeless creature.
