Basic Tendencies


Everyone wants to be Humble, Unique, Intelligent

I Don't

Basic tendencies don't reside here. I refuse to be mediocre.

I define myself, not words or people.

I create my path and influence my attractions.

I am more than what society sees, I am who I am

I’ve experienced the unthinkable

Accomplished the unannounced

Accompanied the greatest, but does that matter

Determination makes me, struggle will NEVER break me

Again basic tendencies don't reside here. I refuse to be mediocre.

Influencing my surroundings and not being influenced

I am a developing child, aspiring for greatness

My name causes me to stand out, even before my words, demeanor and presence are accepted

I will matter, I do matter

These earthly words can’t describe me

I am Cammari

I am who I am

Basic tendencies don't reside here. I refuse to be mediocre.

What other Cammari, do you know

Despite your answer I am an ONLY

Constantly changing, growing, advancing

Basic tendencies don't reside here. I refuse to be mediocre.
