I am me.

Not the mocha skin covered by flesh,

Not the graceful long legs attached to an elegant body,

Not the onyx colored medium lengthed hair tickling noses that come too close,

Not the passed down generational appearance of long-gone ancestors,

Not the stereotypical hormone driven teenage girl,

I am free-minded,

I am emotionally stable,

I am a flower watered by strength and love,

Planted in soil of steel,

Nurtured by high self-esteem.,

I am radiant beauty shining light deep into the bottomless pit of the never ending galaxy,

I am the rainbow that glows after a sullen gray rainy day,

I am everything that everything could ever be,

I am me.
