Mdantsane:Zone 10

Being reflective on where I grew up
Let me tell a story
Who would have thought
That those dusty roads would formulate a person like me
A woman with rare talents

Never underestimate the power of the mind
Nor the upbringing
Those sweet and sour memories
Are the ones that give foundation to growth
A clear mind set and positivity
Never be ashamed where you come from
Nor be apologetic of who you are
Those shameless and fearless ingredients
Are the ones that builds a character
A clear path to showing itself

Being respectful on who I have become
Let me indulge this story
Who would have known
On who I would become
A woman with many possibilities
