I Am More Than What You See

I am more than what you 
see I am my inner beauty 
I am a soul who is brave 
and bold 
I am a person who have 
fought many battles 
I have won some and lost 
many 
I have inner wounds no 
one can see
Battered and bruised 
Defeated and risen
I am the Victor but never 
the victim 
I am more than what you see
My body is a shell with my
soul within 
My brown skin the red 
blood that flows within 
I am more than what you see
I am a soul that lives in victory
