I am stronger than the words that make my heart bleed
I am stronger than the people who tear me down just for the color of my skin
I am stronger than the label placed upon my race
I am Loud, I am the sound of a bolt of lightning on a stormy day
I am the sound of an internal conversation about fireflies and the endless questions of the universe
I am a daughter, of teen parents who instilled the value of education in me because of their own missed opportunities.
I am a granddaughter, that sees the wisdom and knowledge in my grandparents strands of glistening grey hair.
