    What am I in this world,
    But anything more than a mere girl?
    A girl who holds only three simple titles,
    That will remain with ones self until death has proven other wise...

      A Daughter.
        A Sister.
          A Friend.


    What am I more than an average person,
    With nothing more than a name to ones self.
    Not even my name,
    Is worth more than the paper it was printed on...

      First Name.
        Middle Name.
          Last Name.


    What am I created for,
    To be living in this mess?
    With no identity,
    Yet kept masked behind these titles.

      Live.
        Laugh.
          Love.


    What meaning do I have,
    If ones titles are the same?
    What importance do I own,
    If I can easily be replaced?
    What quality do I create,
    That someone else doesn't already claim?
    What am I to someone,
    If someone is me,
    Missing their true identity,
    And waiting for that someone,
    To knock down all the titles,
    Remove all the masks,
    Stare them straight in the eyes,
    And answer the question of:

      "What am I ?"
Care to answer my question ?

I have this question all the time, and I have come to this conclusion: no one, and I mean no one, can answer it for you. You can't wait around to be defined by someone else. You've got to do it yourself.
Good luck! :D
