in this skinMar 25, 2015I did not choose the color of my skin. I did not choose on my body what parts stick out and what pokes in. I did get to choose the me I am today. what I’m gonna wear, how I’m gonna act and what I’m gonna say. Following the lead of parents and teachers and mentors wise. I fall down I get up I keep my eyes on the prize. My voice may be strong but need not be loud. My word filled with truth do my ancestors proud. With trials and errors I’ve found my style. When you see my actions or hear my words, I hope you smile. I did not choose my height, my sex, my skin. I did choose to live fully in the skin I’m in. Dreamcatcher BF |
