It is 9 am-
\nI am a ball of nervous energy.
\nI am a capsule of words, begging to be unearthed.
\nI am the best of friends with paper and pen-
\nI am intelligence redefined, using standards that are mine and not manifested by any test or traditional norms.
\nI am creativity- explosive and ever ready.
\nI am a master plan that cannot be duplicated, though jealousy has many wishing they could immitate me.
\nI am beautiful.
\nI am successful.
\nI am rich with more than just money; my soul is comparable to milk and honey.
\nI am enough.
\nI am a complete sentence and to demand more of an explanation is an injustice to me.
\nI am a black queen- my rich herritage a thing people of not so long ago tried to destroy.
\nI am the drums, beat upon by my ancestors.
\nI am me.
\nI am a poem.
\nI am poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
