This is the me
whom you’ve hurt and thrown away
Outerly and utterly bruised…
… definitely NOT broken.

Thank you for the lesson,
the courage and the strenght,
’cause you wanted me to be nothing
yet, somehow gave me something.

Will and motivation… in preparation;
to see your face… when you see mine:
Burning with self-love,
wearing my cloak of success,
positioning my crown of worthiness.

Yes… this is the me
you never wanted to see…
and yet…
was made to see

The perseverance
of the ‘age old’ UMBOKOTO
in ME
