Feeling Optimistic


I am defined by the times 

A true African- American beauty.

Looking back on the moments that made me

who I am, optimistic.

I am defined by the times

more than propperty, less than man.

Looking back on the moments that made me

who I am , optimistic.

Today, I am a minority defined by those above me.
