A Jock?
A Punk?
An Academic?
Or maybe
The better question is
Who am I?
To my teachers
I am LJ Duncan
To my friends
I am Layla
To my teammates
I am LJ
To my dad
I am Lionheart
To my mom
I am Peanut
To me?
I don't know
I don't know who I am to myself
My name means
Dark Beauty, Pretty, Dark Warrior
Is that who I am?
A Dark Warrior?
A Dark Beauty?
Or maybe
I am all of these things
I am something to everyone
A mosaic of those who care about me
And I am me
Always
Right?
