I Am by Jasmine White
I Am
by Jasmine White Inspired by George Ella Lyon
I am from a womb that was made for two I am from a small town that many people in a big city never heard about I am from my sister doing all the talking but I’m always silent I am from never knowing enough but sometimes knowing too much I am from being different but wanting to be the same I am from where my skin color wasn’t accepted always trying to be enough I am from shattered glass and broken people who only know tragedy and pain I am from siblings taken too soon babies who now call heaven home I am from a place where kindness is rare a place where love is rare I am from a loving creator that made me in his image but I am not made to be perfect
