There Is More To Me Poem by TANIYA WALTON

There Is More To Me



I Am More Than What You See
 Dark Skin
 Thick Lips
 Kinky Hair
 And Wide Hips

I Am More Than What You Have Heard
 Aggressive
 Loud
 Loose
 And Ignorant

I Am More Than What You Have Been Taught
 Dangerous
 Destructive
 Unclean
 And Immoral


I Am More Than What You Expect From Me
 Lazy
 Prodigal
 Uneducated
 Irresponsible

Just As I Know You Are More Than What I Have Experienced From You
 Malicious
 Self-Centered
 Racist
 Hoarding
 Manipulating
 Self-Righteous
 Power-Struck
 And Violent

Ask Me Who I Am

Tell Me Who You Are

I just wanted to say thank you for writing this poem. It portrays the struggles in life people go through everyday as being black. Its very immoral for one to be stereotyped because someone wants to have a small mind. This is a great poem because not only is it reality, its actuality. There needs to be more poets like you!
