I am who I am

I am who I am
And who I want to be

A weird Austinian
Breathing for 17 years and 5 months
A symbol of a strong Black woman

I am who I am
And who I want to be

Skin caramel like the inside of a snickers candy bar
Legs long as life
Eyes big and brown like a big brown bear

I am who I am
And who I want to be

An awesome Aries
Always asking amazing questions
Am I really who I think I am?
Am I really me? Of course… Right?

I am who I am
And who I want to be

Iendsfray omecay irstfay
Only they can understand
And only they will know

I am who I am
And who I want to be

A Barbie
Not like every other girl,
Yet unique and can’t change me


I am who I am
And who I want to be

Face appealing as the color yellow
Inside stubborn as a ram
Never follow, always lead
Because I’m the H.B.I.C.
