I am Still Here
Location
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I become the words on the page
The words that cling on to my chapped lips are now seen
They are now heard through
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I become more than the statistics
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I become more than the stereotypes
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
There is no wrong
There is no right
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I use the pen to protect my people
I am no longer a mascot for your patriotic sport
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I am no longer a novelty that is forgotten on a lower shelf
I am no longer is discomfort
You can read me between the lines
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I am no longer held under a microscope
But held high upon a shrine
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
I am no longer buried
I have sprouted from the ground
I am still here thanks to
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry
