I Am Whole

with my originality came my individuality because of those i had no problem with my journey to naturality my eyes began to open starting to live in reality started to see that friendship was quality --not quantity my real friends showed me things i always didnt want to see & i began to be ME 100 percent completely no misconceptions of what it meant to love myself mind, body, and soul no longer as a half i am now whole owner of my own no longera slave to society constantly trying to be someone that is not me i am JAZMEN spelled with a Z you see? my originality possibly-came from the woman who gave birth to me & from the ones that came before she but still, long ago i always stuck with the crowd slave to certain rules always tried not to be so loud i allowed my surroundings to get the best of me that ended November 4, 2008 i was 16 when i made the decision to follow my vision with such precision my chemical processed hair fell to the floor slave to society no more! FREE! i became free! to be exactly who & what i wanted to be-- Me JAZMEN with a Z no longer a naive girl but a FREE black woman i embrace my originality, individuality--and now my naturality 100% - completely with my mind, body, & soul i am whole
