She Told Me
An identity is who you are
So simple, so short
A definition
Then who am I?
She told me
You are who you want to be
Wanting to be
Is different
Wanting is not being
Was it?
She told me
They are the same
The same in different ways
The same they may be
Just not to me
Not yet
Who should I be?
She told me
You should be the best person you can
The best
Blank mind
The best is never good enough
The best can be stretched
To become a very standard
What is the best?
She told me
The best is turning weaknesses into strengths
The best is what you push yourself to do
The best is always good enough
Always---such a strong word
I believe her---my mom
