If you looked at me you would say

I am a Black,
            Short,
   Female.

I can say I am much more than that.

I am a student,
  A writer,
    A dreamer,
          A believer.

I am a daughter,
  A sister,
   A friend,
    And a cousin to many.

I am a book reader,
   Show watcher,
     Snack eater,
       Nap taker.

But you probably wouldn’t get all of those things from looking at me.

Simply because my appearance does not fully embody who I am.

I am who I am and the only way to figure that out is to know me.

Not look at me.
