That One

I will be great 
I will be famous 
I will be the first of
Hope
The first of Dignity
I will be there to speak in 
front of millions
I will meet Barack
Michelle will be proud
I will give back
Making effort to meet Martin
Luther King Himself
I will be that first black girl
That first teen mother 
Not to give up Hope
The first African American
To offer pride instead of money
Dignity and understanding
I will be that ONE IN A MILLION!!!!
