I Am...


I am a black women

I am a person that holds grudges and lets them out on the wrong people.

I am someone that wishes to start their life all over because they choose 

to let the wrong people in their life.

I am someone that is still trying to figure out what their future is going to be like.

I am a young black women.

I am someone that has a sensitive heart and let things get to me.

I am a person that crys a lot. 

I am a person that worries a lot.

I am the women that stares in the mirror and feels insecure.

I am the women that wishes to be like the other girls that are prettier,got all the curves, with long hair, & has a bigger butt.

I am the black women that wants to make their family proud.

I am the young black women that sees herself going to college & seeing further in my future.

I am the young black women that someday if God bless me to grow into someone beautiful.

I am beautiful.

I am strong.

I am the girl that used to be bullied & went through so much Hell years ago just because I wasn't myself.

I am a strong black women.

I am unique.

I am smart because some teachers told me I was never smart enough or would not make it through the future, but I know I am.

You wanna know why I am?....

Because I am smart

I am beautiful.

I am unique.

I am strong.

I am grateful.

I am those things they thought I wouldn't be.

I am a flower that is going to keep growing. 

I am the strong black women.
