I am me and no one else

I am me and no one else
i am a queen ruler of my castle
i am the hope of today & tomorrow
i am strong like the dream of the slaves
i am me and no one else
i am a proud black child my roots are form Africa my ancestors were brought here
taken from their homes
beaten raped but also survived
i am a seed of a rich heritage
i am smart and beautiful
but most of all i am me and no one else
no one else can be me
i am funny, crazy and uncanning
a mere drop of my essence is enough for anyone to fall in love with me
i am the giver of life and the taker of grief
just like the poem i rise into a daybreak so wondrously clear
i am me and no one else!
