I...Me....Self

To my daughter Valerie and Vivian:

I am and I don’t know why

Who am I to deserve to be..

To   breathe the air

To walk around so free

I don’t have need for anything

I eat, I play, and I go to school

I can be anything I wish

And I choose not to be a fool

So much evil around

Waiting to be found

Violence, death

Taking away our last breath

I am who I am

See myself in the eyes

Of another

Maybe it’s my sister,

Maybe it’s my mother

Does t really matter?

I am me..
