All I Can Ever Be Is Me


SIMPLE yet COMPLEX...
 HUMBLE yet ARROGANT...
LOVING yet HATEFUL...
QUIET yet OUTSPOKEN...
DRIVEN yet LACKADAISICAL...
HAPPY yet MELANCHOLY...
SMART yet STUPID...
FOCUSED yet DISTRACTED...
OBEDIENT yet DEFIANT...
PROFESSIONAL yet HOOD...
Everything that I am, everything that I stand for is much more than words written.
She is I and I am her, woman that defies description.
Queen of my world and Archbishop of my universe.
Far from perfect yet flawed to perfection.
Not bound by law of man, freak of nature or some sort.
Refusing to settle for anything less than my worth; I demand just due.
I will not compromise my soul, dignity, salvation, or beliefs to appease man.
No thank you, your acceptance is not needed here.
Comfortable within myself, I stand exposed in front of a full body mirror seeking my own validation.
This is… I am… God given.
Art form in his own right.
To know me is to know love.
To know love is to know God.
In thy arms I rest all burdens, fears, and inhibitions.
 Standing perpendicular to the ground with the world in front of me, I ask, "Are you ready?"
The reality is… most are not ready.
 Not ready to acknowledge their destiny.
Not ready to love themselves despite of the insecurities of others.
Not ready to let go of what others think so they can be happy living within their own skin.
What drives us to impress others?
Is it acceptance, validation, love?
Why are we so critical of others?
The way they live?
The decisions they make?
What's that saying, "Don't throw stones while living in a glass house"
At the end of it all…. the only person I can be is me
I’m good with that, why aren't you good with you?
