800
Im am the daughter of a broken soul
with a steady family but piece gone
I am
the trust inside a hole
6 feet deep with no room to grow
I am the child's cretal in their father’s arm
soon to realize it was a straight jacket to bottle the fiery I built inside
I am
my attitude
the sassy, that attitude that knows you are right but want to prove you wrong
I am
my mother
her foundation her backbone her strength to go on
i am her tear drops her yells and frustration.
i am
my grandmother
her cane her walking hand bag
im every breath that she breaths and every beat of her heart
who am I?
I am the supporter
through trails you go through I am there
im the listener
the open ears ready to feed on the words
that flows from your mouth to my ears like a river
I am the love
ready to build my heart back together with wire and tape
I am the seeker
and you shall find
I am a mystery
of a told story with a confusing ending
i am the dark shadows in the corner
ready for sunshine to beam on my new beginning
I am the start and never the finish
I am
Jamaican
with every word the rolls off my tongue that
sound like a foreign language of every wine of my hips and dip
to the rhythm of the beat
I am the first but never the last
did I make that clear
I AM THE FIRST AND NOT THE LAST
I start it I want to finish
I am the shy hidden smart
a girl with brains but fail to show the world what she really knows
Who am I?
I am Aquarius
the zodiac sign that define me to the cross of
the T in my name
here is my favorite part
I am the sewing needle stitching my open wounds back together
I am women strong in her submission
and am the pain of a new day ready to break free from the chains of myself doubt
am the super women carrying my family on my shoulders
am the big word like
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
when I don’t know what to say
but
Who really am I?
the world just have to find out for themselves.
