Hi I'm Dom

I cannot change the person I am to suit everyone...yet people believe my person is interchangeable;

Accept me for the person you first met;
The person that greeted you with "Hi, how you doing?", accompanied with a firm handshake and a smile
Instead of a "Whats good?" and the 'Im-so-gangsta-I-can't-even-smile-face'

I'm the slim, not skinny (actually quite athletic) built black man
Skin filled with ink; the same black man that wishes you all the best upon his exit

I am not the person you want me to be
I am not the person society tells you I am
I am not the person that will prove the stereotypes truthful
But the person that will prove my worth and purpose

I am worth more than what stands before you; my purpose is to make an impact and I will make a fool out of the doubters
