I Am


 

I will  live and die like this . 
Beautiful young 
Intelligent woman
Mindset of an entrepreneur 
Goals of an athlete 
Endurance of a young child 
Personification of a young soul 
I will carry myself like a princess to a throne 
Never give up on myself 
My lifestyle will be classified as classy 
My smile will bring brightness to someone's day 
I will refuse to live and be treated as just a black woman but more like 
A woman of god and power 
I shall not let no man walk over or make decisions for me
The presence of a man will never make me timid 
My skin will make me no different than others
Once married these guidelines will never change or be altered .
