I Am Me

I am me I laugh when it’s funny I cry when I’m sad I feel pain when I’m hurt I am me I go deeper than the surface I feel more than a simple touch I see farther than what the naked eye can see I believe faith is the key to happiness And I think forever, instead of spare of the moment I am me Brown colored skin, jet black hair, shadow brown eyes, hour glass shape, ditzy crooked smile, ambitious personality and a heart of gold I am me Born and raised a Texas flower Detailed product of my country environment A small but important piece of God’s glorious creation I am me I walk tall I stand firm I listen to the beat of my own heart I follow God’s foot steps I carry my pride on my face My motivation is rejection and doubt My encouragement to move forward is my son I am me I am a mother but also a child I am a teacher but also a student I am a keeper but also a giver I am a lover that yearns to be loved I am me I look like my mother I’m unsure like my father I’m inspired by my sisters And I fight like my brother I am me Bold and beautiful Wise and understanding Real and humble Strong and steady I am me I don’t believe in regret I don’t look backwards I live for the moment And I pray for tomorrow I am me Some see the surface of me Others look right over me Few see the real me But none will ever intimidate me Because, I am me…..
