A rewrite of a poem about myself.
I know I am a woman
I live a spiritual life
What I am can't be taken away

I am a black girl
And I follow the Goddess path
In my dreams I do not sing R&B
Goals are not set by my race

In a quiet park, I'm at peace
All I need is sunlight
And the one I love
Surrounded by the noise of insects
My voice without words

I am a spiritual black woman
I may not shout, but a whisper is louder
