After reading the poem below in class, can you create a poem about identity using the repetitive pattern 'Identity is...'

Think about what makes a persons identity true to themselves and the factors that don't define identity at all. 

Identity of I

Identity is not what I promise others
Identity is what I do when I am alone
Identity is what I think of others
Knowing all the hatred they've shown

Identity is what every wound reminds me
Identity is what I learn and what I pass by
Identity is what I see in the mirror
After giving my best try

Identity is what I make out of my given chance
Identity is what I accept and what I deny
No one else has control over me
Life is about me, and what I identify
