Girl what are you scare of?
Do I represent everything you pretend not to be?
or is it just jealousy?
With your lies you smear my name
but don’t expect me to break down and cry
or to hang my head down in shame
I will always hold my head high
Keep thoughts beyond the sky
I am stronger than you will ever know
I have never lived on the streets of regret
chasing away memories I desperately want to forget
I learn from my mistakes
I don't dwell on heart breaks
I have no illusions of myself
I never lie to me or pretend to be
someone else
I may not be the cheerleading type
or Ms. Popularity but I am proud of who I am
I will make apology for been me
I am not jealous of things you do
because I never aspire to be like you
So why won’t you let me be?
Aren’t you tired of criticizing me?
I don’t need you or anyone else
to validate me
because I know who I am
I am strong, beautiful and proud
I am me!
Try as you might
you can't change my identity
I can’t pigeon holed or stereotyped
because God made me from a special mould
He is the only one who has total control over me
I aspire only to be the best of me
I am me!

Kerri Evans Poem
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
HOW DO YOU EXPECT SOMEONE ELSE
TO BELIEVE IN YOU?
LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT
NEVER LET YOURS OR OTHERS INSECURITIES
FILL YOUR MIND WITH DOUBT
CAUSING YOU TO CONSTANTLY SIT
ON THE BENCH OF INDECISION
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
RESPECT YOUR OWN OPINION
DON'T GET LOST IN THE CROWD
BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID TO STAND OUT
STAND TALL, BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE
DON'T BE SILENCED BY YOUR FEARS
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
PUT CONVICTION IN EVERY WORD
NO ONE IN THIS WORLD
HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE YOU
SO DON'T GIVE THEM THE POWER TO BREAK YOU
THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE ABOVE YOU
SO BELEIVE IN YOURSELF
DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE
TO BELEIVE IN YOU.

Kerri Evans Poem
So many questions weighing
heavily on my mind
How could I have been so foolish?
How could I have been so blind?
Allowing my heart to ignore the signs
It such a shame that I have got
no one else but myself to blame
Now that I am falling apart
With nothing to show for loving you
but a broken heart
This situation seems so unreal
Still can’t believe I was head over heel
loving everything about you
Because look at me now,
hating the way you make me feel
Hating everything you put me through
I’m like a bird caught in midflight
Frozen under your spotlight
Loosing me to you
I was comfortable in my skin
Until I let you in
You got me stressing,
second guessing myself
Confusing thoughts in my head
Wondering was it something
I did or said
to make you change?
I let you break through my defense
Didn’t see through your pretense
Until your mask became undone
Your lies tore us apart
It was all an act from the start
Now the scene is over
The curtains drawn
You are gone
It is such shame
that I have got no one else
but myself to blame
Now that I am falling apart
With nothing to show for loving you
but this broken heart

Kerri Evans Poem
No matter how many tears I cry
or many questions why?
I know I will never find the answers
within myself or nobody else
because lord only you know why he had go
The number of his days and all of his ways
only you know
I tried but these tears won’t be denied
My soul still cries out for him
A boy lost in the world of sin
before he was taken
I wondered if he knocks on the gate of heaven
would he be let in?
I don’t know how much more of this that I can take
because every time I think of him my heart breaks
If I could I would change that day and make stay
So I wouldn’t have to pray this pain away
