I am

I walk with power
And power works for me
I’m the caged bird that sings
Every step I take defines a certain one’s moment because I am power
And every step I take echoes in every being’s mind hallway
My heels dig deep in their backs
And I leave permanent marks immovable footsteps
I speaks and the world listens
I am Maya Angelou reincarnated

I come as one
But I leave a thousand mes behind
Like a cast out demon
Sprinkle me with your bitter words
And burn me to the ground with your firy hate, oppression,
But like a cast out demon
I came as one
Died just one
But you evoke a thousand more me’s
I’m a mother

I don’t go with the flow
I create the flow that flows deep into souls
I flow like the stream
I’m a train
Behind me, I carry thousands to the promised land
Babtised , I baptise
He speaks and me listens
I free minds , I free souls
I’m mother Theresa
I am Harriet Tubman brought back to life

I stand in frontlines
And bath in trenches
I am the calvary 
I am no wolverine
But you gonna feel my claws from within
And you gonna know black is queen
It’s the skin it’s from within
I’m born of a  queen
Forget a tiara honey I am a king
I’m more than a worrier, a soldier
I could go down the hill in a white dress and the world will still trample at my sight
Now address me right don’t get under my skin
You couldn’t survive all this melanin
I am a fighter
I am a survivor in a world ready to take me down
Till the end
I am Oluwatoyin Salau
I am Ambuya Nehanda uncovered

I am one in another
I am perfection perfected
I am tangible, I’m proof
I am a work of art
You say I was the sun that rose from the south and the sun that never set
I was the beautiful sunrise you never watched
A magical sunset had you waited for the day to end
I’m patients redefined
I am a woman

I am reborn
I’m tangible
I’m proof
I am who I choose to be
And I redefine, redesign ephocs
I run kings that run kingdoms
I became the living shadow
I am a queen

I AM A WOMAN
