Who am I really?

I decided to write this in a poem

The way I want

So all my thoughts could flow in rhythms

Buried deep within my soul

I ask again

Who the hell am I?

I am a girl with a wandering soul

A lady with regretful pasts and confusing present

A woman filled with so much responsibility

Dreams and passion and focus unimaginable

You want to know who I am?

Then you gotta to go to the basics

To the bottom of the history line

When the creator decided to make me the first child

It seems to have all gone wrong from there

Responsibilities bigger than my shoulders

Making the mistakes ahead of the younger uns

And being the prim and proper example

For their little steps to follow

No matter how fake it was

No matter how much I was dying inside

And had twirling and raging emotions I could not understand

I had to maintain the façade

That façade of the perfect child

Education was no different

Emblem of the star student

Teachers favorite and a haven of awards

Yet I did not know me

My path seemed so clear to everyone but me

Who am I actually?

I am a lady on the path of discovery

Society and sentiments be damned

Amma make my own way

Through the forests and the seas and the clouds

I am a woman that refuses to be the society’s woman

I am a woman but a human first

Aint gonna listen for no man to dictate my life

Aint nobody’s property

I am me

Imperfect, thoroughly flawed, confused

Smart and compassionate

Passionate and focused

I don’t need no approval

I would keep on being me

So me is that sweet girl

That simply does not give a f**k

I just do right by me, my God and my goddamn conscience
