Who I Am

I walk inside the room Everyone whispers Suddenly turns a scream Can hear people’s rumors You exactly know my name But you heard no stories of me So please stop judging me You don’t know me at all Since you are dying right now Just to know who I am Now let me tell you this You’ll surely blow your mind I am not an ordinary one Someone you usually know I turned myself as diamond Everyone actually knows Don’t step on my flesh Put mud on my clothes I am well known to be respected Work hours inside classroom Don’t spit on my face If you’re unsure with your words I almost build my castle Everyone looks up on me Not saying you’re better than me But know me who I am If you want to earn my respect Respect me for who I am

Lei, Congratulations on your awesome win. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Stop by my blog "LAST CALL" if you like. ((( note from MEakaPD Thank you ALL for waiting and chilling, while I sat on the sideline. Since March 1st, I moved to the 4th largest city in the USA (by population.) One of the hardest decisions EVER-EVER!!! I will keep short on my visits until April 1st. After that, there's no holding me back LOL -unless God has other plans. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

First we must seek to know ourselves and once we do, we are better able to help others truly see who we are. My experience has shown me that some people spend to much time pretending and wonder why no one really gets who they are. I enjoyed this thought provoking piece.
