I am what I am

I am what I am
I am from South American.
I am known as West Indies, decesentant from India
I am from Guyana, the land of many water.
I am a daughter, grand daughter, aunt, friend, best friend and a student.
I came from a country with mixed culture and different religions, a land of many memories.
I know where I am from, because I have been told by the great ones.
I am someone special, someone with many dreams for a brighter future.
I am New York and Brooklyn.
This might not be the place where i want to be, but i have no more choice.
My dreams are to be somewhere else and be someone, but I have been told that I'm already someone, someone with respect, love, courage, hope and a wonderful heart.

I am an immigrant.
I came to North America for better opporunities, for a better future.
I am many things.
I am what I want to be.
I believe in myself and I believe I can do anything I set my mind to do.
I am a smart, funny and decent person. I am a brown-skinned Guyanese girl with big brown eyes.
I am tall and skinny and love who I am.
I am many things.
I am what I am.
