Can I?

by Nyoriecia   Nov 15, 2006


Can i be the Southern girl from Tennessee whose skin is more chocolate than Hershey's?
Can i be one who knows more in school than what's in the streets?
Can i be short but whose hopes are taller than any height can reach?
I can.
Can i be modest and keep the best of me hidden?
Can i be a surprise when i feel the time is right?
Can i not be judged for not judging?
I can.
Can i be myself however and whenever?
Can you be yourself however and whenever?
Can we be ourselves however and whenever?
We can.
