I Am More


I am a single face, in a crowd full of nobodies.

I am the name whispred in the wind, in the streets, of the city of dreams.

I am the calm before the storm,

I am unexpected and innovative,

I am a force to be reckoned with.

I am a young girl with a continuously growing dream.

I am the Future,

I am the Past!

I am the little African American girl living in the ghettos of your city.

I am Hope,

for those who were told they shouldn't be "anything they wanted to" because their dreams of being an artist just "Doesn't pay enough"

I am a single face, in a crowd of full nobodies

Waiting.

Watching.

Ready to become The Face of Somebodies.

I am Kayla.

And I am more than what mere words can define.
