Step Inside My Head

The instructor said: Right a poem expressing yourself using Langston Hughes’ first poem as your model. When my mom had me it was just me and her. We went through hard times yet she never let our problems effect me. Now that I have grown up I see things differently. I can understand when there is a problem and know when things aren’t right. Now I’m just looking for my chance to shine. I am preparing to see the world through my own eyes. And it is hard. But I get through. Most kids my age are academically preparing themself for their future. They go to school and they learn but me I am creating mine. My voice is my instrument and as long as I have it I plan to use it. My passion is singing and my heart is in performing but my money always gets spent on shopping. Yes I am a women and I was created to be of a helpmate to my spouse but that doesn't mean that I am not human. Though I may have breast and my hips may make the shape of my body different doesn't make you suprerior. I have a mind and I am an individual. I can think and make decision for myself, all while taking care of all responsibilty. I am your mother and your grandmother I was responsible for your up bringing. Don't belittle me because of my sex!
