I Am Black

I am Black, I am loved and I am beautiful I can believe and I will achieve Like Martin Luther King you can succeed All you need to do is believe Like Jackie Robinson and your fore Fathers, You can overcome the adversaries and negativity of this world Like Barack Obama, you can climb the ladder Just take one step and don't give up Like Rosa Parks stand firm and strong, you will overcome Like Nelson Mandela never give up on your dream You come from a lineage of conquerors, King and Queens Like the great Lewis Hamilton remain determined and ambitious You will one day have your hopes and dreams

Good, solid identity poem! Yes, you are free to dream and be hopeful, to achieve your dreams. This is well-written in the anaphora technique.

This is beautiful... very inspiring piece, but do not exclude yourself from mastering great things as these heros of modern society did... You are unique and capable of achieving your dreams! "If you can perceive it, dream it, believe it, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!!!!" :Love, Lucinda
