I’m Still Here

I’m Still Here

I might be the sweetest person you ever meet,
Just don’t test me I’ll be the
Meanest person you ever seen.
And still I’m here.
You can talk all your mess,
Trying to make it seems like
You’re the best,
But you’re not even a test,
I’m on the road to success,
Still I’m here.
You can beat me down to the ground
& think I’m won’t come around &
Find you.
Face to face,
Still I’m here.
You can break my heart,
But you don’t know
You giving me a fresh start,
Still I’m here.
You can give me a free hug
With a smile on your face
That way I know
Everything is ok,
Still I’m here.
You can try to break my spirit
& not my soul I’m gonna
Rise up & left, right
East to West
Look at Poet giving it
Her best.
You can’t see me because,
I’m here,
I’m here,
I’m here,
And Still I’m here.

Rachel Davis was born and raised in Northern California. Raised by her great aunt and uncle, Rachel found a voice in her poetry as a young child as a way to be heard.

Rachel says her poetry is an outlet for anything going on in her life at the time. Rachel wants her stories to reach a teen or a adult in their darkest moments and let them know that everything is going to be ok when they give their lives to God. I am openly gay, and I still believe in God with all my heart. I wasn’t born to be gay and I am proud of my decision for being myself.

“My heart, spirit, and soul are in my poetry and that is the only thing I want people to see,” Rachel Shares with us in her reflections.
