Who Me?
By AG
How do I better myself?
Starve off comfortability
To create parity within
To accept my flaws
and be humble in my strengths
To feel relief in my win
A winner of freedom
Free at last
Freed from my past
I’ve been re-moved my mask
Not saying I’m fake
More so removing my ugly
To reveal my beauty
Essence of a man, a changed man
Who articulating a plan
To achieve to believe
I can, and will be a better me
