You know my name...but not my story.
March 1, 2013
You know my shame...
but not my game.
You’ve seen my skin...
but not my scars.
You know the color of my hair...
but not my roots.
You’ve been told my mistakes...
but not my successes.
You’ve seen my smile...
but not my tears.
You know my past...
but not my future.
You’ve seen my walk...
but not my talk.
You know my fears...
but not my feats.
You’ve heard about me...
but not from me.
You know my name...
but not my story.
