who am I
I am...
I don't know who I am
I just failed my test so I guess I'm slow.
I am who people want me to be.
I am the one who put smiles on others face's because I can't seem to put a smile on mine.
I am a boat of hope waiting for a tidal wave of failure to wash me out,
who builds up a wall and with one small flick will come crumbling down.
I am the one that cries then vacuums it up the minute someone asks " Are you okay?"
I am okay.
That's what I tell myself so I don't stress anyone around me,
but it's getting hard.
So yeah,
I'm black, nappy headed, tall.
I'm chubby, weird, slow.
I am who I am
and I'm okay with that.
I mean I have to be.
