I write to tell you that
The days of slavery are over
The days when your gossips
Had imprisoned me
The days when your mere actions
Dictated to me how to live
The days when I thought
I was not enough
The days when I thought
I was nothing but inferior
I write to put it to you
That I am going to do
me and nothing else
I have broken loose
From your chains of slavery
I write to put it you
That I am a masterpiece
Carefully created
Carefully Sculptured
And I am treasured
By those who know my essence
I am a masterpiece
I am a special door
Opened only by special keys
And like a lion I shall roar
I will not shudder
I have a purpose
I am a masterpiece
I am on the journey
Of finding my purpose
I will sprout and blossom
Like a flower
I will flow freely
Like a river
Not until I find my purpose,
I am not coiling back.
The time has changed
And you are going to keep quiet
And listen to what I say
You either embrace me as I am
Or Criticize me
While I keep my calm
Unbothered I will be
I just realized
I am a masterpiece
And it's all smiles and inner peace.
