Say My Name Loud

This poem is dedicated to Syleena Johnson and Dr. Syleecia Thompson. ❤





I say my name loud
Because I'm proud.
I may not have the best life in the world.
But I have a path of continued success in my view.
God is with me.
So I say my name loud.
I remember where I have been,
And I know where I want to be.
I also remember the heroes who have paved the way for me.
So I say my name loud.
Everyday I discover something new about myself.
Both good and not so good.
Either way, I embrace it because it's apart of who I am.
So I say my name loud.
I may not be covered in diamonds,
But I still shine bright.
So I say my name loud.
I may not be able to "make it rain"
But I can make it drizzle,
Just a little.
So I say my name loud.
And yeah,
Sometimes I cry.
Not because I'm weak,
But because I've been strong for so long.
So I say my name loud.
I've accomplished things that many can only dream of.
And now I've been blessed enough to be able to teach and lead others.
So I say my name loud.
If I could,
I'd climb the highest mountain
And take a deep breath.
And because I'm proud,
I'll say my name loud.
