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
