Self Defined

I am not my name
Not because it lacks
The definition found in a
Book of baby names
But by this life that
I have lived
From the years of my youth
To yesterday
I am self defined
In between the obvious titles
And black and white lines
I am sunshine
Twinkles in eyes.
I am
Support that holds
Them all together.
I am life
Like air that inflates a balloon
Like kisses that make pains go away
Like oxygen needed for every cell's growth
I am woman, mother to my precious three
Mother to many others
Leader of a nation yet to come
Self defined
But definitions are endless, infinite
I am not my name
And still I am she
Queen of my identity
More than a number
A bit out of this realm's reach
And still some search for me.
