Just Being Me
|
Posted By: Yvonna Merriwether on December 18, 2007 I've finally reached womanhood A Fiskite and it feels really good At first I was timid and nervous Of moving out and facing life on my own Actually its not that bad I've found strength that I never knew I had A college freshman living in an apartment Giving me millions of decisions to make But as a young adult I have to choose whats best And trust me that becomes the biggest test Knowing what you can and can't handle Don't turn into someone that you're not See me I'm just being me I love school, it's my top priority I know that everynight I can't party I know what I got to do to be who I want to be No more can my mother make decisions for e So I'm going to keep it real Yes, I am going to make mistakes But thats just a part of me being me And finding what it takes To complete my dream If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
