  1. I AM ME

    I’ve been dreaming so foolishly,
    in such inane sequences of envy and coveted-ness.
    All the time that’s been wasted,
    hatin’ the player instead of the game . . .

    is it all worth it?

    I am not the model, nor the football player.
    I am not the ladies’ man, nor am I the party starter.
    I… am 155 lbs. of humanity and insecurity.
    I am bony arms and legs, with bony fingers and toes.
    I am a mark in the middle of my forehead, received from a childhood accident.
    I am gaps between my teeth, teeth which, by the way, are not the whitest they could be.
    I am dark cocoa skin, a mixture of my father’s ebony skin and my mother’s caramel skin.
    I am joy, I am pain, I am sunshine and rain.
    I am fear, I am doubt, yet envy is a sickness that needs washing out.

    I AM ME, I AM ME, I AM ME, and from now on, I will be me until there’s no more of me.
