Who is the speaker in "Still Here" by Langston Hughes?

I been scared and battered.


My hopes the wind done scattered.


Snow has friz me,


Sun has baked me,





Looks like between %26#039;em they done


Tried to make me





Stop laughin%26#039;, stop lovin%26#039;, stop livin%26#039;--


But I don%26#039;t care!


I%26#039;m still here!
