See me World

Young and old defines my soul
Black and bold my history shows
Its like you already know me just not my name
Such is fates twisted little game, but I still choose to put my heart on display
Sign sealed delivered, weeks later returns to sender
Thought I would set the world on fire,
 But you can’t even see my smoke signals
I’m just another one of America’s hidden figures
Still scared of my deepest fear, of my greatness beyond measure
My real fear is to show you my dominance and you not accept my prominence
For you to reject it, neglect it, totally disrespect it
So I make time to write simple lines that may rhyme but often
My style is no style, untraditional, unrehearsed, unorthodox since birth
I’m just asking to be received; I’m just wanting to be believed
See me world as I see me
Imperfect…but with the potential to be
