I am somebody

I am a poet who

came to Street Sense

five years ago. Still,

sometimes I think

I have no sense.

I am a poet who 

also creates short stories

and other pieces that

motivate me to keep

doing better and better.

I am a teacher 

and a poet. Both

make me realize

something special 

is inside of me. 

I am the poet 

on the scene

happy and grateful 

for the chance to grow.

I have achieved 

new levels of 

accomplishments 

in my life.

I am Ms. Rochelle.

My game is selling

Street Sense newspapers

to help the homeless.

I. Am. Somebody!
