Who Am I?
A dreamer,
sometimes the best parts of my days are when I am able
to dream because for however long the dream lasts
I can escape my present
rewrite my past
imagine my future
I can do all the things that seem impossible
I can change the world
change my life
change mistakes make them right
when I dream, I take new life
I can soar and I can fly
A bird with wings like a fever
Who Am I?
A writer
I like to write my feelings on the page because
the page has become my most trustworthy friend.
I pick up an empty notebook and a gently used pen
and the words I couldn't seem to come up with in the face of my problems
come pouring out of me like lava
Who Am I,
I'm a believer,
I grew up in the church
I know that GOD is real and in him I trust
My faith is a huge part of my life
and therefore could not be left out
I'm not ashamed to praise the GOD I love 
He blessed me with the ability to write and all the 
other talents I have
so why not give him praise while I have breath
Who Am I?
A minority,
with the mindset of a lion
I am a woman and I am black
but I do not let the things that 
society looks down on
hold me back
I think there is strength in being the underdog
because if they don't expect you
they'll never see you coming
and when you prove them wrong
after their brain stops humming
and the shock subsides
they will see that the one person they never thought would make it
is standing in front of them
breaking molds
taking a stand
making a difference.
Who Am I?
Strong, 
talented,
determined
I will make a difference in this world
I will make my dreams come true
I will use my gifts to change lives
I am a threat to negavtive thinking
injustice, racisim, sexism, 
anything that tries to stand in the way of my greatness
Who Am I?
I am a voice in the crowd screaming loud and will be heard
I am a match set aflame ready to burn down the walls of oppression
A Force To Be Reckoned With.
