I AM LEGEND
STRONG AND ALMIGHTY
SO IMPORTANT, THEY'VE ASKED TO INDITE ME
I AM LEGEND.
MY HEAD IS HELD HIGH,
WITHOUT A REASON TO CRY
BECAUSE ALL OF THE WORLD WOULD SIGH
I AM LEGEND.
NOT WILL SMITH AND HIS SON IN A MOVIE
I AM SOMEONE MOVING
THE MOST TALKED ABOUT...TRULY
I AM LEGEND.
NOT AND UNVERIFIABLE STORY,
NOT AN INSCRIPTION ON AN OBJECT. BUT A PERSON OF MASS GLORY
I AM LEGEND.
THE ONE WHOM YOU NEVER FORGET. THE ONE YOU CANT STOP REMEMBERING.
THE ONE YOU'RE JUST NOT HINDERING.
I AM LEGEND.
CHAMPION OF ALL BATTLES, FIGHTS AND WARS.
THE OPENER OF ALL CLOSED DOORS.
THE ONE BETTER THAN THOSE BEFORE.
THE ONE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
I AM LEGEND.
THE ONE TO GET ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
THE PERSON YOU CANT STAND.
THE ONE ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU GET OUT OF BED.
THE ONE YOU REMEMBER EVERY WORD SHE SAID.
I AM LEGEND.
THAT ICONIC IDOL AND ROLE MODEL, TOO.
THE ONE YOU "JUST HAEV TO" INTRODUCE YOUR MOTHER TO.
THE HIGHLY HONORABLE AND TRUE.
I AM LEGEND.
I DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SAID IT.
I DONT KNOW HOW MANY MORE TIMES I HAVE TO TIL YOU GET IT. AND IF YOU FORGOT JUST THAT QUICK. REMEMBER.
I AM LEGEND

I WROTE THIS PIECE SIMPLY BECAUSE EVERY ONE CONSISTENTLY TELLS ME WHAT THEY DONT LIKE ABOUT ME. AND I ALWAYS HEAR SOMEONE TALKING BAD ABOUT ME. AND I SIT AND THINK I MUST BE LEGENE.AND I SAY LEGEND AND NOT A LEGEND BECAUSE I FEEL I AM THE DEFINITION OF LEGEND NOT A SYNTONYM

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
