Yes I am
An identity all my own.

I am X & Y

at the same time

Boxed by the ignorant,

shallow minded and feeble

I have no self-esteem issues

Nothing wrong with me

Nothing wrong with the collection of things

I call “self”

self-concept

Nothing askew with my personality

faults are in my environment

I can

I will

rule the world

Positive

Guide to the new century

The world is in its place

where it needs to be

Revolving around me

They say I lost my “voice”

To attract the boys

Lost & misplaced myself

to gain appeal

Stifling my opinions, interests & self worth

We know

I know

esteem grows as I grow

I am far from fragile

Not conflicted

I am not fraud

Who dares to say “I… am worthless”

I am not ambivalent

I have a higher moral resolve than all these boys

more ethical

I can express my opinions

I share what I am thinking

Express what’s important to me

Essential to the blueprint of the future

Humankind

Share what’s on my mind

I can be the cause of wars

Transformed into a muse

Suffered the timeless abuse

With a voice stronger than some

Initial instinctual protection

I own my intelligence

Dabble in appearance

That man can not produce

What I speak becomes truth

One day

They will look and say…

She’s beautiful…
