What I Am

The paths I choose to take

The decisions that I make

The places I tend to go

The people I happen to know



What I am they cannot change

My soul will never rearrange

No matter what they demand

I, myself do not command



The things I ain't learned

Versus knowledge that I earned

The time I had to waste

And the fears I had to face



What I am they cannot change

My soul will never rearrange

No matter what they demand

I, myself do not command



The depression and the fights

Troubled and pushing for fights

Stepping up to the plate

Only God holds my fate

Thank you very much for the time you took to read and respond to my poem. Believe me the words you wrote meant alot to me. I will never give up on my baby. She means the world to me and more. I like this poem you wrote also. It makes me think of my daughter. People are always teasing her for who she is and wants to be. I allow her to have her own mind and thoughts and will never make her change. I love her for who she is. Thank you again!
