I Am Poem by Steven Washington

I am what men consider as distinction for I strive to become what others
Told me I could never be
I am a man that exceeds all expectations that have been set for me
I refuse to let anyone determine my future because my path to success
Is set by me
I will hurdle over any obstacle that is brought before me so I can continue
My path to glory
I am what men consider as excellence because even when I do fail I never give
Up faith or hope
I will push forward until I excel in every aspect that I have set for myself
I am what men consider righteous because love and faithfulness reside in me
I will lean not into my own understanding but to those who share their knowledge
And wisdom of life towards me
I am a man that has been underestimated because of the thoughts that others have
Put up against me but since I have been perfectly made to do the wonders I have
Been blessed with
I shall not take for granted the knowledge that I have obtained but give it to others
To show them no matter what obstacles have been put in your way the knowledge
That you learn from your mistakes and the wisdom others give you will help you
Find your place
I am who I am I respect all until there is nothing left to respect
I am one of the many that boys look up to and say
One day I am going to become a good man
One day I am going to make history and
One day I will create my own legacy
I am who I say I am because I have paved my way
I am not like any other man because of my mindset but
I will make sure that every man knows who I am to understand we can become
Anything
Because I am Mixbreed Gentleman
