Who Am I?


Am I my ancestors who fought for freedom Am I next to the throne of our unclaimed kingdom Am I the fear, sorrow, hurt or pain Am I the silver lining after the rain Who am I? Am I a slave who was beaten because I knew it wasn't right Am I a slave who stood up and never gave up the fight Am I the tear drop that falls after being treated so cruel Am I the anger that gave us our fuel Who am I? I am the justice that set my people free I am my soft, thick hair that grows naturally I am the faith, joy, and happiness I am the accomplishments that were once nothing but emptiness That's who I am I am the CEO of my own company I am the judge, the doctor, and the attorney I am the senator, the musician, and all the greats I am the President of the United States That's who I am
