Do You Know Who I Am
May 1, 2012
Disrespectful comments,
leers on dirty unshaven faces
Corny pick-up lines yelled across the street
At me!
And I ask them, “Do you know who I am?”
I am black
I am proud
I am confident
Do you know who I am?
I am natural
I am fierce
I am sexy
Do you know who I am?
I am gay
I am loud
I am a fighter
Do you know who I am?
I am lovable
I am soft
I am… to be handled with care
Do you know who I am?
I know who I am
Do you… know who… you are?
