i am... extra bold

I am EXTRA BOLD.

As you know it’s a font to others

But to me, we are one.

Bold, I am bold

I am not italicized by my pears

And underline by current misfortunates

But I am bold.

I stand out in the crowd and know how to make an entrance

All, because I am bold.

There isn’t any if’s, and’s, or but’s to why I am what I am.

God said to Moses “I am what I am”

So can’t I be who I am

I am bold

Extra, I am in every bit extra,

Extra in the sense of more than average

And greater the normal

I am extra

Coming from a minority white school

Being one of two black girls in the 10^th grade

Yeah, I’m extra.

But I am bold.

Having two concepts to clash and blend is crazy.
