Open letter from an unapologetic tomboy
I’m Sorry but not sorry.
As they planned to make me inglorious.
Yet, they always find me spirited and vigorous.
So unapologetic - as a tomboy.
Palesa ya lewatle- a beautiful flower.
Wise man, once said- “Knowledge is power…”
But it’s funny how our society use it infrequent.
Listen to them… Ah! They sound ignorant.
Still can’t differentiate between lesbian and a tomboy?
Still mistake personality decision with a sexual decision?
Self-education doesn’t need an authorization -People
Look at them- Feeding each other through my identity.
Why are they stressing about my personality?
Nywenywer-nywer, tjwetjwer-tjwer…
Gossiping- we know they’re naivety.
Oh! namby pamby- that’ infirmity.
I used to be angry, till I realize that they’re empty tins.
And I’ll end up making mistakes, coz I got unlawful genes-
Unfortunately, they took it personally.
And I can’t afford to be ordinary.
Msaka advised to- play the ball and leave the man.
It’s an Irresistible, tremendous inspiration- I can feel it burn.
Peace be unto you, I’m a child of God.
But the devil tried to lead me astray.
Devil is liar, God please pave the way.
My future hazes, I need a sway.
Society should just accept me for who I am.
They better acquire more knowledge and avoid criticism.
Because, Egocentricity is a cure to altruism.
Oh Lord! I’m tired of sharing other women’s men- Can I have my own.
I will repent and take righteous ways- I think I’ve grown.
Associated with wrong ones- Loyalty I’ve shown.
I’m still ingenuous, but their minds- I’ve blown.
Under the sheets- better be a freak.
Suck it hard- till the man plead.
Then I ride it firmly- I enjoy seeing him weak.
C’mon babe- just follow the lead.
Where’s my soul mate? He is a king
An intellectual guy- that will be everything.
Sorry my nigga, I don’t do weak man.
Remember, I was raised by four strong men
Maybe that’s the reason why, I’m a tomboy
I don’t make decisions through feelings and emotions.
I listen to my mind and intuition.
I got a good heart- but it’s my last consideration.
The girl in the mirror- that’s my only competition.
Working hard- trying to make better reflections.
