Lei Strauss Poet Narrative

Who I Am

I walk inside the room
Everyone whispers
Suddenly turns a scream
Can hear people’s rumors

You exactly know my name
But you heard no stories of me
So please stop judging me
You don’t know me at all

Since you are dying right now
Just to know who I am
Now let me tell you this
You’ll surely blow your mind

I am not an ordinary one
Someone you usually know
I turned myself as diamond
Everyone actually knows

Don’t step on my flesh
Put mud on my clothes
I am well known to be respected
Work hours inside classroom

Don’t spit on my face
If you’re unsure with your words
I almost build my castle
Everyone looks up on me

Not saying you’re better than me
But know me who I am
If you want to earn my respect
Respect me for who I am

Poet Destroyer A March 13, 2016 at 10:21 AM Lei, Congratulations on your awesome win. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Stop by my blog "LAST CALL" if you like. ((( note from MEakaPD Thank you ALL for waiting and chilling, while I sat on the sideline. Since March 1st, I moved to the 4th largest city in the USA (by population.) One of the hardest decisions EVER-EVER!!! I will keep short on my visits until April 1st. After that, there's no holding me back LOL -unless God has other plans. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

Richard Lamoureux January 30, 2016 at 7:14 AM First we must seek to know ourselves and once we do, we are better able to help others truly see who we are. My experience has shown me that some people spend to much time pretending and wonder why no one really gets who they are. I enjoyed this thought provoking piece.
