Who I am.

January 9, 2016

I am who I am.

Not who they want me to be.

I am the future,

Not the forsaken past.

I am all I can be.

I'm a student, daughter, sibling, and Christian.

I'm not perfect, I'm not a god.

I am mistake prone, but I'm only human.

I choose to learn from mistakes, instead of run from them.

I am not what mean things people say, I'm better than words.

I am dependable, a natural leader, and caring.

I am respectable, honest, sympathetic, but not foolish.

I am much stronger than before, I know my worth.

I am different, And that's what makes me who I am.

I know morals and I have self control.

I am often overlooked and misjudged, but that's okay.

I am just fine with being me.

I am not the clothes on my back, nor the color of my skin, but I am who I am.

I am still young, I have a lot to learn.

I'm willing, ready, and able to learn.

I'm not one who hides from the dark, I embrace it and shine a light.

I'm not one to cause a scene, but I won't be walked upon.

They've taken my smile and knocked me down, but I'm made to feel alive.

I don't know where I've gone wrong, and I don't know where I'm coming from.

All that I know is I got to keep moving on.

That's just a taste of what makes me...me.
