I Am

I’m impudent, I know that
I’m insolent, can’t deny that fact
You say I’m prudent, can you prove it?
I’m spoilt
Likely to throw a fit

I’m intelligent
I’m consistent
I do my best to be the best
There’s no way I won’t pass my Physics test
I live my life without regret

I may be feisty but that’s just one
I’m filled with lots of ambition
If you find me disobedient
Don’t patronize
Please don’t be lenient

Sometimes belligerent
I’m quite the intellect
I often scream dialect and
Once or twice you’ll see me cry
I’ll be just fine so don’t ask why

I’m a student
A leader
A sister
A daughter
Jamaican girl, full of class
Just me, that’s simple fact!

I’m insolent, also intelligent
Defiant and resilient
Accept me for who I am
Not who you want me to be
I just told you…

I Am Me
