I Am...Scholarship Slam
I AM …
When it comes to what defines me… I AM “Strong”
There is nothing that can break me down or rip me apart
Because I AM “Strong”
When the devil tried to break me in 2012 by ripping my father from me and threw him in that jail cell
I could recall crying and asking why but I remembered
I AM “STRONG” and wiped those tears away
When I had to look my brothers in the face and wondering if they could see the pain
In my eyes could they see the hurt?
From that day on I would always hold my head up high and smile
Because I knew that I was “Strong”
I had to be if not for me but for them and my family
From that day on I would let NOTHING break me
Life was too precious to be sad and depressed each day
So now when I wake up I can see a brighter day
Each day I wake up I look in the mirror
And I realize that I’m still here but most importantly that…
I AM STRONG!
