Who am I?
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.

Very nice piece. I just happened to see this poem below the one I posted entitled "I AM". What a coincidence.

It is interesting that these are my thoughts within the last two days. Who Am I? not to anyone else but to myself... Very insightful. The beauty in learning about one self. Great Capture!
