I Am Who I Am
Location
I am the one who everyone calls short
I am the one who often needs support
I am the black ballet who dreams
My dreams are real
My hopes are precious
My hard work is golden
I am the who likes blue
I am the one who inspires you
I am the one who struggles on stage
I am the one who is afraid to turn the next page
After I perform
I feel numb inside
Then I think about the times I’ve cried
I am the one who has been afraid
Being afraid is good
Especially when I hate my neighborhood
I am a young man seeking success in life
Sometimes I wish that I could take a knife and cut into the future
Nonstop
I wish I could know what’s next
I am the one who is curious to know
But this pressure on me feels like a hammer throw
Soon I will be an adult
In result my career will be determined
I who I am who will be the first person in my family to graduate
I am the one who believes in success
I am the one who appreciates everything
I am the one who is thankful
I am who I am
