Uyanda Ndamase Poem
did you think you could pull me down?
was your intention to break my wings?
i cannot stay down in the dust,
for i, i was born to rise. . .
i am a precious, beautiful and black diamond,
all the scrubbing and processing did not phase me,
the acid you are pouring on me cannot kill me,
for i, i was born to rise. . .
does the confidence i have threaten your existance?
the curve balls you keep throwing at me won't hinder me,
as for the bullets in your eyes, i'm not afraid,
for i, i was born to rise. . .
like the sun rising after each night of darkness,
like the stars come out after the sun has gone,
my spirit will keep springing in high hopes,
for i, i was born to rise. . .
i am going to soar on the waves of the wind,
i am going to rise and not sink anymore,
i am going to walk tall even though i am short,
for i, i was born to rise. . .

Uyanda Ndamase Poem
You Are...!
You are the sugar in my coffee,
You make me sweet...!
You are the salt in my stew,
You make me tasty...!
You are the keys to my ignition,
You start me up...!
You are the wheels on my car,
You keep me moving...!
You are the electricity in my light bulb,
You turn me on...!
You are the ice in my cooler box,
You keep me cool...!
You are the bleach in my white clothes,
You make me bright...!
You are the string on my kite,
You keep me high...!
You are my everything,
My everything are you....you are!
