I embrace my true identity,

no one can tell me who I am,

and who I am not.

I am,

African American.

I am,

an individual.

I am,

gay.

I am,

powerful.

I am,

myself.

I am,

confidence.

Never broken down by society.

When the odds are against me I persevere.

Pushing on and on,

till I reach my goals.

I am not,

who you want me to be.

I am me.

I am free.

I am,

confidence.
