i am me
i am you
i am nigerian
i am an african
i am the girl you walk pass on the street
you know me - that girl thats speaking on the phone
that girls thats crying at the corner
that girl thats starving with her children
i am the teenager, with the secret love crush
the one u look at and laugh at cos i am not fully grown
i am the undergraduate... with a lot of choices to make
now u know me, now u want me, because there are two things pointing out on my chest
i am the working girl, always on the go...
thinking about the bills to pay and the shoes i saw yesterday at that store on 5th street
i am the spinster, now the desirables are leaving
now u look at me and have to see ME for who i am
am the girl waiting for the perfect man
the girl praying for any man
i am your lover
the one who is there at night
the one who shares the trials of the day when its dark outside
i am your friend
your very dependable friend
there for you in all your sorrows
but you turn ur back on me in mine
i am a mother
now u have me at home
my job- the children
your job - making me cry
i am the grandmother
proud in her old age
ever there to bear all burdens
kind and wise
i am your love
i love without any question
i love fully and completely
i love with all i have
i love cos that's all i have
i am me
I AM A FEMALE.
