To be

believe believe believe believe
be and leave
to be or not
i'd rather be
i'd rather be the woman that you see...
in front of you
to be 5'3 inches short
to be adorned by long brown hair
to be blessed with brown eyes and full lips
to be right in all the Right places
to be exactly who God meant for me to be as me
to be white in the winter and tan when it's warm
to be smart mouthed with a quick tounge
to be intelligent. imacculate. irreplaceable. unchangeable.unbreakable. unforgettable.
and every other word that can describe strength
that can describe me
for that is who i choose to be
and wish to be
if that is not who i am
yet
then it is who i shall be
but like i said
it is to be or not
and not is no option that i nor you should take
in this war to grow exactly
to the woman that i Shall be
or will be
or am
or was
either way i am still above the average line
above the dot that hovers above a lower case i
every time
always
forever
to be exactly the woman that you can not see
or can not envision as i can
because my height, my hair, my eyes, and my skin
although these atributes i can not change permanantley
i can still increase, progress, or rather Grow...
everywhere else that can be altered
so that as a woman i can choose
to be the best
to be the tallest in the heights of our minds
to be the strongest in the strength of my heart
to be the purest in the faith of my soul
to be as forceful as the sun
to be as simple as the moon
to be as humble as a root
to be as plentiful as the stars
for that is who i choose to be
and want to be
for not is no option that i will take, can take, or am able to take
for i am only able to be me
now and tomorrow
to be a child, a youth, a woman, a mother, a sister, a friend
to be everything i can be
in every bit of my capabilities
for this is who i am
who i was born to be
