This Is Who I Am


One word to describe myself?

Is there anyone who can think of one word?

Pretty? Smart? Funny? Friendly? Kind?

No.

How can one word describe me or anyone else?

Don't are personalities matter?

One word can have so much meaning,

but in the end do we really mean what we say?

One word to describe who I am outside and within.

Another word to used to label me.

Everywhere I turn to someone is being labeled with one word.

Different is what I am.

Different because I'm not afraid to stand up to someone,

different because I fight like there's no tomorrow for what I believe in

different because no one can take away what I have and everything I've worked for

different because when I see myself in the mirror

I see me the way I am, someone who gets discouraged but never gives up

someone who always has a smile on their face and is always there for everyone,

someone who is always ready for a challenge something new,

someone who believes in more than what meets the eye,

someone who wants answers to the world, and life.

One word, to describe myself

Different.
