Reclaim


A college grad, a vet, and strong melanin rich queen 

On the outside looking in, you think I got it all figured out

You see my accomplishments and drive

I seem motivated and always ready to strive

On the inside, I’m a scared little girl

Terrified of facing the world.

As I grow older, as I begin to reclaim my time.

Things are looking up!!

At this very moment reclaim my peace 

I reclaim my JOY

I reclaim my SELF-CONFIDENCE 

I reclaim my ESSENCE

The Essence of TIARRA

I’m RECLAIMING me!!!!
