I Am Who I Am


I am... brown skin, curly hair

I am... bullied on the playground

I am... "What are you?"

I am... snowball fights by myself.

 

I am cuts, I am tears

I am nights alone

I am nights alone

I am nights alone

am nights alone

nights alone

alone

 

I am alone.

 

No.

 

I am not alone.

 

I am... beautiful

I am...courageous

I am... "Ghanaian, German, Jewish"

I am... throwing snow at my friends.

 

I was cuts, I was tears

I was nights alone.

 

Now I am...

..who I am.
