I Am What I Am

I am a simple lady, Doing simple things in a day, I born in this world, Doing my best if I could. I’m here not to impress people, Nor try to show them I’m able, I act according to what I thought, And follow God, the creator of this world. Life is not as simple as I think, But I face it without a blink, More important is that I have the strength, To overcome trials on my way to the end. 5th Place Winner For SKAT's "You" Contest
