Identity

 Identity 

All human Identify is

Based on stories

Stories we tell ourselves

Based on the stories

Handed down to us

Since the beginning of

Human communication 

It's how we establish

Our reality

These stories are based

On the selective information

We call 'facts'

Our vested interests intact

Since there are no such things

As 'facts'

Just perspectives

Agreed to by

Humans in charge

The 'winners'

So to speak

But

In spite of the overall

General stories

We each have our own

Individual stories too

Just as 'fact-free' as

The general ones

Merely perspectives

Guiding the rendering of

Our masks

What we want or

Expect others to see

Protects our vulnerabilities 

Our true realities 

We are human

After all
