I\'m so much more
than skin, bones, organs,
legs, arms,
eyes, ears, a nose, and mouth.
I\'m so much more
than an African American girl
living in Mississippi
enjoying her life.
I\'m so much more
than a daughter,
granddaughter, niece,
sister, and cousin.
I\'m so much more
than a student at Clinton High School
that makes good grades
and runs cross country.
I\'m so much more
than a lover of reading,
writing, drawing,
and listening to music.
These common labels
don\'t define me.
If people took the time to get to know me,
they\'d see I\'m so much more.
