I Am Who I Am Poem by zonda davis

I am who I am
A BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN
I am who I am
One of God’s living things
I don’t ask much from you
But to respect who I am
Because again I am
A BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN

When you look at me
I do not know, who you may see
When you look at me
I do not know, what you expect from me
But if you walk with me I am sure,
You will learn many things
The one that is a fact
I am a BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN

In my life of living
I made it through hard times
In my life of living
I have committed many crimes
But when I look in the mirror
It’s me who I see
A BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN
That stands in front of me

So before you judge
Or call me a name
Look at me, learn me
And say what you mean
Say that woman right there
Is MY BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN

I am who I am
A BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN
I am who I am
One of God’s living things
I won’t ask much from you
But to respect who I am
Because again I am
A BLACK AFRICAN QUEEN
