That I Am
It is not because you say I am, I am simply
because I’m me. Before my mother's womb,
before your thoughts or perceptions, It's been
written that the Universe knew me.
She gives me everything I need, from the top
of my head to the bottom of my feet. No, it's not
you that tells me my worth, to her I’m priceless
like smiles on children.
Your hate deemed me invaluable, a perception based
on lies believed, shamed me into thinking I was nothing,
I believed in you, acting in accordance to your wishes,
I was became the fool.
However, scales that once blinded are now removed,
ears once deafened by your screams of hate, are now
opened to the sweet voice of truth. A voice once trapped
behind pursed lips and gritted teeth, now free to speak!
I am, that I am.
