ME
Me: By Oladeji aka Vicki Acquah

Because I am only
ONE of my Kind.
And refuse
to Abort my mission..I ask..
Could I have been a little more 
religious 
patient
tolerant
willing 
agreeable
softer
sweeter
easier 
diplomatic
could I have gone along to get along,
be a softer place for hard asses to land.
Could I have been a little less
Difficult
Opinionated
forgiving
fault finding
expressive
extreme
Blunt
Truthful
Yes... I could have... 
But then where would that leave you?
That would not have been me,
And as you can see
There's enough of them 
Carbon Copies....
....And they are not changing a damn-thing.
And then there's me...
