Inspired by Jo Harjo
I release you, broke, no-money-having self
I release you,
You are getting on my nerves but pushing me to do better.
But now, ‘cause of you, I’m in school doing what’s best for Wynter.
With my GED and my pride, I will achieve what’s best for my daughter.
I release you I release you I release you I release you
I’m not afraid to burn it out.
I’m not afraid to eat noodles every day.
I’m not afraid to wear my same four pairs of shoes.
I’m not afraid to be scared, of getting it, or losing it.
I’m not afraid to be nappy headed.
I’m not afraid to be black.
I’m not afraid of people of who talk down to me.
I’m not afraid to make it out I’m not afraid to make it out
But come here, Janeia Price, doing it well
I am so focused and you are so ready to be successful.
Janeia Price is a 19-year-old native of Springfield. She has an infant and is an excellent bowler.
