This Is Me

a poem about me

This is me, the girl from the ghetto
This is me, who made it out alive
This is me, who gave her life up to God
This is me, who was raped by someone she trusted
This is me, who has friends that care
This is me, who cares about them also
This is me, the chick with the big heart
This is me, the one who gets burned for having that big heart
This is me, an ambasidor of love
This is me, longing for someone to love
This is me, an unperfect girl
This is me, who wonders about her sexuality
This is me, a black girl
This is me, a strong girl
This is me, Qwamayne Sherryel
