Just Be Myself
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
I came to realize what's inside.
My complete self revolves around realization.
Realizing what I needed to be facing.
The time arrives what I denied inside.
For many years I had fears.
I fought through my battles with strength and tears.
The fatality of faking is over now.
People will respect it and I know how.
Just to be myself.
And no one else.
