Who am I?

little I have been told you cannot do this 

You can write

Your voice in not powerfull enough 

you can't be heard 

Asking why was thi is the biggest mistake I 've made

You are black 

You are Afrikan

And to crown it all you are a girl 

But then growing up

I attended school 

Became good student 

Spoke infront of people even older people would listen to me

Then came in writing 

I wrote poems 

Wrote down my thoughts 

And today I am wondering 

Who am I?

Ain't I a black Afrikan girl?

I believe that I am a black Afrikan girl 

And I am proud to be

This makes me different

it shows that we are not who others think we should be 

I am the black Afrikan girl 

Who reaches out for her dreams 

I am that black Afrikan girl 

Who went passed the limits set by her society and made them proud of her.

Yeah this is who I am 

A black Afrikan girl
