Who am I?

Who am I? I am a significant figure One of a kind With the right frame of mind Got personal pride On my side With a loving heart As well as a spirit so divine I came from a strong generation Which helped change the nation As well as the world astounding demonstration Hopefully I can lead on the legacy Of greatness To be remembered in history Never to be solved or forgotten like a mystery With the right attitude and gratitude I will excel and go far in this life In this lifetime The highest mountain I will climb Just to shout my voice Stomp my feet And in all rejoice Just cause I was given this chance In this lifetime to advance I will not stop nor rest Until I finish this quest I will not be a statistic I will succeed Helping one another, not looking for greed I am determined for change and progress Because in this journey you have one life, So why not out of it come together like a community? Lending a helping hand Making a difference, Making a stand, For a new beginning For everyday life, I will strive, and I will fight I look at you like my eyes are windows seeing my past and my future I walk with pride as solid as a stone For I know my past ancestors gave me this strong back bone My ancestors paved the way for me For me to the person I ought to be Joyful cries singing Freedom ringing To keep the dream alive So we can make it through this world and survive To be fully educated with life Also, for our eyes to see No longer put down or treated like an enemy Cause we are all alike In one form shape or another So why can’t we come together Who am I? You might ask I am an African American woman.
