I am somebody

I am not beautiful
I am not powerful
I am not rich
I am not influential
I am not famous

But this does not bother me
Because I’m still somebody

I walk with pride
I talk with sense
I act with dignity
I see the truth
I laugh heartily
I smile sincerely

I am real.
And I am somebody.

I put up a fight
Sometimes I go with the flow
I speak out loud-
How cocky that may seem
I can kick some ass
Yet I know when to nod

With this little actions
Is it not obvious?
That I am somebody
And I am real.
