I find myelf being what I want to be, <br />Immature, a coward, or an oaf is not in my vocabulary. <br />Let me tell you what I really see, <br />Mature, self-responsible, and lovingful now that's me. <br />A college graduate and an independent woman, <br />Don't have top wait on nobody or no man. <br />An educated strong black sister who knows what she's doing, <br />Knows where she came from, and knows where she's going. <br />I walk with class: not a frown, <br />Worthy, wealthy, and I stand my ground. <br />So I just explained it as simple as can be, <br />Cause all of the above are all me<br /><br />Shaquita Sims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-identity/
