True Me


There are days I try to figure out the real me Everywhere I go I overhear people trying to devour my ability Every day I fight to let them know I am free No more trying to stop me because I'm the true me Finding my way in life of where I stand But fighting because I need my voice heard loud and clear Why do you doubt my gifts and decide to not be my friend But push me away and you stand far but you don't stand near No longer will I weep because my fight is won You can't step on me and think you can annihilate me But know I stand vigorously and depending on How I scrimmage it won't matter I will overcome Now I will let you know I'm valuing the true ME Because it took a while for my womanhood to appear But guess what I admire and nurture the real me Regardless of what people may think my voice they will hear
