The fear she possesses is hidden in her eyes which emanates from her thoughts
her body isn’t made for model suit fashionable clothes
but yet when you try to stretch your hand across her hip
you can feel the span
her skin isn’t bleached
her melanin pop up with a little acne on her forehead
she is an african child with bigger responsibilities in her hands
she tries to use her thought as a pen and her palms as her book
she uses her chigno as site to dump all
the negativity and brush it off together with the end strands of her hair
that is me
as Dr Maya would say
I am a woman phenomenally
phenomenal woman,
That is me
