Who I Am
Not the average beauty queen you see on call 24/7
Not exactly a devil, but far from being an angel from heaven
Product of a troubled woman and a homosexual man
This is who I am.
Proclaim myself to be a social outcast even when I'm in the crowd
Try to keep it cool while everyone else is running wild
No matter what I do, some people still don't understand
This is who I am.
I've been hurt and abandoned, neglected and abused
I've been mistreated many times and played for a fool
Always fallen prey to the traps of man
This is who I am.
Learned to love myself, but I'm still dealing with issues
Appear to have it all together, but my insides are softer than tissue
Sometimes I find myself not really giving a damn
This is who I am.
An Aries who's compassionate to herself and others
Willing to share my love with the world, especially my brothers
America is my home, but Africa is my motherland
This is who I am.
Constantly searching for the God I know lives in me
Constanly reshaping the woman that is Bre'
I'm not a perfect person, but I do the best that I can
This is who I am!!
