I Am

I’m a seed of a beautiful tree,
Growing with the water and sun as vitamins,
I’m a giant,
Standing at a ridiculous height reaching the sky,
I’m a bird,
Chirping on a branch waiting for mama’s arrival,
I’m a queen,
Sitting on her throne giving orders,
I’m the future,
A light for the betterment of tomorrow,
I’m God’s creation,
A beauty made from man’s ribs,
I’m no hero,
But I wish to save the world from turmoil,
I’m an African,
Black And Educated,
My beauty,
would leave you mesmerized,
I’m a human,
Alive and breathing,
I’m who I am,
A blessing regardless of some customs that put women behind the curtains,

I’m who I am
No one can change that.
