I AM WHEN I CRY

I am a person,
a special person. I am special
to those who love me, and accept me for who I am.
I am proud,
proud of my ancestors, for passing on the hard work and integrity
of my people, proud of my parents, for teaching me respect,
honor, honesty, and disipline, 
and proud of what I have accomplished in life.
I am not a minority, majority, or a statistic.
I am an independant human being representing a way of
life that I choose to follow.
I am certain,
certain that I was put here for a reason,
and certain that somehow I will make it through this life.
I am grateful,
grateful to have a chance to enjoy a life that spoils me,
grateful for all of the things that have been given to me,
and grateful for the many opportunities in life,
even those which I cannot see.
I am tired,
tired of being ignorant, tired of the pain, suffering, and hate,
and tired of the evil shadow that blinds us from the truth.
I am ashamed,
ashamed of the wrong we have done to ourselves, and this world,
and yet I am ashamed we can let it continue.
I am hopeful,
hopeful that I will better myself, hopeful that there will be
peace and unity, hopeful that we will come to a realization, and
hopeful that all of us will do our part to make a change,
while we can.
I AM ALL OF THIS, 
AND ALL OF THAT WHICH IS IN MY SOUL, WHEN I CRY.
