I Am

I am an Artist

  Instead of a brush I use my hands
  Instead of a bow I use my feet

I am a Woman

  Strong and Confident
  Tender and Mindful

I am a Student

  Always learning 
  Never giving up

I am a Teacher

  They come to gain knowledge
  They come to prepare for life

I am a Sister

  I look up to the older
  I guide the younger

I am an Artist

  Of discipline and focus
  Of strength and speed
  Of knowing and not using
  Of mind, body and spirit

I am what I am 
And 
I am a Martial Artist
