Don't let others define you
Based on arbitrary categories
That align in neat boxes;
Define yourself based on who
You were made to be.
We are each uniquely suited
To some task that lies always before us
And that which we do each day
Prepares us for the moment
We step into the gap.
Our lives become a series
Of those gaps where we are the part
Which fills the need that
None other can fill because we alone
Have what is needed.
Boxes are empty places
Surrounded by walls
That attempt to contain
When what we need is to
Grow to our potential.
We speak of thinking
Outside the box when what we
Should be doing is redefining
The boxes in which we find
Our true selves.
