I am.. Determined to remove myself from 
the feeling of hopelessness.
I refuse to be stopped.
All I want is peace.
This feeling is a temporary disease
I watch all things fall and crumble
I watch this problematic individual groan and grumble.
Spreading bad energy
Please I welcome no bad vibes
I seek the word of the wise.. daily.

 

I am an optimist in the making

Seeking ways to innovate and create

I am on the road to making an impact that the world will appreciate.

My destiny is on this "wait".

 

I am one who once lacked self-confidence

Then I realized, " I don't have time for this!"

 

Longing for a way out of all this drama

This head trauma 

This may be cliche... But I do, do it for my mama.

 

The feeling of being unnoticed and forgotten

is a drive to be somebody 

NOT a drive to be an attention seeker.

I am one who now refuses to allow the opinions of others

make me weaker.

 

I am young

I am black

I am a lady

I am a young black lady

who institutes resilience.

Amazed by strong willed minds and influentials.

 

I am fooling you all because...

I am a girl who allows herself to be ran by her conscience;

a conscience that has the lowest form of self-confidence.

 

" You're beautiful"

" You're a star"

" You're talented"

" You're smart"

"  You're calm and collected"

" You're so unique"

" You're outgoing"

"You're creative."

all these words have been neglected

 

I just want the confidence to be able to accept these compliments.

 

I am two souls in ONE body

One must come out ,the other must be disembodied.

 

Am I me?

A collective mind you see.

I guess I'm still becoming who I am supposed to be.
