I am young, black, beautiful, spiritual, talented, ambitious, educated, and sometimes...

frightened.



I have emotions, dreams, likes, dislikes, wants, aspirations, faults, and talents.



I have good days, bad days,

wonderful days, and horrible days.

Sometimes I am beautiful.

Sometimes I`m glad I`m me.

Sometimes I`m ugly.

Sometimes I wish

I`d never been born.

Sometimes I crave company & attention.

Sometimes I want everybody to leave methe hell alone.

Most nights, I pray to a higher power.

Other nights - I wonder if there is one

I love to laugh. I hate to cry. But, sometimes - I do both.

Because most of us share these very same emotions, one might assume that I am just like everyone else.



I`m not.



I am me, you are you...

and we are both unique, special...



and very necessary.
