Who am I? Why am I here?
Boldly of African descent without any fear
Who am I? Why do I write?
Boldly a lover of words, no other plight
Who am I? What do I live for?
Boldly compassionate as Jesus was before
Who am I? How am I defined?
Not your typical Bible thumper, still excessively sublime
Who am I? What will I do?
Live, Love, Laugh, Cry with each day anew
Who am I? Who are my peeps?
Including YOU all the others whose strength and love I reap
Who am I? Who am I? Who do they say?
A whimsical collection of what my poems convey
Just a simple silly collection
Of words to let y’all know
I shall only be defined
By the things that allow me to grow
Not what some may have thought
Nor what others may think
Only what deep inside my soul
Daily to me speaks
Composed of lots of empathy
With a tad bit of boldness mixed in
Never settling for simplicity
Of that I am not akin
Instead I choose the road less traveled
Living each day to the fullest now
Overcoming obstacles
As I take my proverbial curtsy and
bow
