Proud


I am proud, 

My voice is loud!

Native is my background,

Yet, I still have not found...

I am proud,

I stand upon the crowd,

Hands up as high as it can be,

For everyone to see,

I am proud, 

Above is a storm cloud, 

I get out of the way, 

And say,

"no more I will be ashame but be more of what I claim" 

I am Proud.
