Who Am I

Ignorant, is not my identity in my struggle for my race. Damaged, is not my identity by the disparaging arrows flung at me. Effected, is not my identity to the wickedness of man. Negligent, is not my identity as a moral human being. Tattered, is not my identity. Impatient, is not my identity to the slow walk in my ancestor's shoes. Transparent, is not my identity. Yes, it is not my identity to be caught up in the windmills of others' minds. Ideology, my identity is invested. Distinguished is my identity in my faith in the almighty God. Emancipated is my identity from a life of mental oppression and inhibition. Navigated am I with a strong will to be a part of a struggle for justice. Tenacity is my identity. Ignited is my identity blazed in the hope of a change. Tagged is my identity by the history of my culture. Youthful optimism is one of the many facets of my identity. copyright 2016 Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body, and be ye thankful.
