have we met?

so many things make us unique

do you know who I am?

genuinely
doing the do
going the go

sometime' I'm
just gone walk
an abstract beat

sometime' I'm
just gone draw
outside the lines

the Magistrate of
do my own thang
ain't nobody but GOD
gone hold me down

most times I'm
odd woman out

most times I ain't
humming along

I'm gone be the song

slap
my own drum
ain't nobody
but GOD can tell me
to be wrong

BE WRONGED CHILE'
BE WRONGED...

me?

so AMEN
and c'mon

Haha this is a jazzy anthem. I'm crazy perhaps to read into this as some great feminist literature. (:

That's not too crazy Wuj and not very far off. Sometimes we have to talk ourselves "up" when most won't :). Do a little self affirmation cause ain't nobody gone love me like me.

...and thank you so much for reading.

Really like the concept here. It's something I can definitely relate to. Amazing poem!

This is an interesting one. I wanted to say Gonna instead of Gone, but Gone works.

[Shirlena]

Well "gone" is a natural part of everyday vocabulary for me, sort of like "up in here", unless I'm being professional it's my dialect which I like incorporating in my poetry at times. Thanks for reading KL.
