Hoper
I've been subjugated
I have hidden scars behind this beautiful face
people just rushing without staring a glance
I hid every inch of those scars that no plaster can amend them
My body shivering with my throat choked
The words slices my tongue each time I try to speak
Am confused, unbalanced and scared
I was naive to believe people are good that equality was everywhere
Didn't know it was rare
As we're choked and drowned by man-made torment
I don't need alcohol to get me in the mood
I've a mother who never doubt my ambition and talent
Am not a toy that you can play with
Am kissing the sidelines goodbye
I've a mouth that can build oceans and a pen that will stop inequality
Don't underestimate me
I am a woman, am enough with alot of layers and personality
I won't let the words consume me like a tidal wave smashing me into pieces
I won't stop, I will go on and rise stretch my wings and fly high just like an eagle
No matter what you say about me I Know am one of a kind, am divine
