i am 19 and in college now but.i wrote this when i was a freshman in highschool i was always diffrent and into acting and just alot of things that most people would call "unblack" and i never understood it. i went to a very culturally diverse school and i was still picked on by white kids and black kids. i obviously wasn't white and blonde. and i just wasn't "black enough" for the black kids so often i found myself alone all because i like to write and act and spoke correct english. so i hope this poem inspires not only black girls but everyone learn from my experience and relize as long as you try your best and can say to your self i am the best me that "I" can be.It okay to be me plus highschool doesn't last forever :) and someone will appreciate your talent just always strive for the top.
