Tameeka Smith (Norfolk)

Some say that the saddest way to live
Is to have never loved
I say the saddest way to live
Is to not know yourself
When you find out who you are
It's the greatest feeling by far
Embracing everything about you
Even things that some may find embarrassing
It takes millions of atoms to make me
There is more to me than just one thing
Like many branches to a tree
Or pebbles on a beach
I am proud and say it happily
Simply discovering what works for me
I am daring, caring, loving
I find joy in many things
I think on my daily walk
I'll enjoy some music
Maybe some rock no not right now
I am feeling some hip hop
Shocked why it's my choice
I say what's on my heart
I am not afraid
Or ashamed
To be that way is just lame
I like what I like
I like who I like
It's my right
And I do it with all of my might
I feel so free
I am enjoying me
Oh what a feeling
It is truly a blessing
