WHO I AM, a poem by Rae'johne Kierrah Smith, USA Other Narrative Poems Other Teen Poems DUAL CATEGORY THIS POET COUNTRIES Categories: Narrative Poems & Teen Poetry Viewed 7853 times Author: Rae'johne Kierrah Smith, USA Share Poem WHO I AM I carry my head on my shoulders And not in my hands I walk down the busy streets of New York Rather than on the lonely dirt roads of sand I want to give back to my community Rather than to forget all about Show the world that a black woman is worth something Without the slightest doubt Take a seat in the house that will soon be mine The White House is its name and Washington D.C. is where it shines Who is this person, still you ask? Is she out of her mind, or in a trance? Well, you may be right, and 9 times out of 10 you will be wrong But I promise you she's on her way, and it won't take long Because this person is out there somewhere; Maybe here, right now But I know one thing, it won't take long to figure this African Princess out Click to purchase Print 82108 0 Other Author Poems Recent Site Documents What type of Valentine do you wish to have?
