I am

I am a poet
without rhyme
only a voice.

A voice that cannot be
forgotten.
A voice that spews ideas with
a bullet proof vest.

I am a woman
without beauty
only a mind to use.

A mind that sees the world
as I shall see it.
A mind that will rot one day
but not before I have my say.

I am a teenager
without drugs
only youth.

Youth that rebels
for a cause.
Youth that remembers
the past before it lived.

I am an American
without obedience
only questions.

Questions that
are the fuel for change.
Questions that
will awaken a nation.

I am everyone
and
you are
the same.
