I Know Why Am Here

My nephew asked his dad "Dad why do women have boobs?" His dad shocked by such a question from a kid, Hesitated and before he could come up with a lie, my nephew said excitedly "I know why!!!! So they can float when they go swimming! " I look at me, at my brokenness And sometimes I wonder With questions, why me? and What if? At times am ashamed And all I want to do is hide From this world Sometimes am so naked Sometimes am so vulnerable Njeri's sad stories, Njeri's sad life, Njeri's sad poems My weakest points My boiling points My broken pieces Am here to stay afloat Am here so I can help atleast one person float AM here so you can help me not sink
