I Am Who I Am Poem by cherish anderson

So what if Im different from other girls. I don't have to be like them just to please you.
I'm not a follower. I'm a leader. I do what i want when I want to, not when you want me to.
I do my work when I'm supposed to, thats because I'm doing something with my life. I don't want to end up like my uncle who lives on the streets.
I don't care what people say about me. The ycan keep talking cuz my name must taste so good for it to be in their mouths so much. But who are they to judge me. They don't know what I've been through and they'll never know.
I am who I am for a reason.
