I am African

I am black

I am beautiful

I see the world

It does not see me

I live in a cage

But maybe the cage lives in me

I am the rain crying a million tears

 I am the sun bringing sunshine with my laughter

I am the hurricane that destroys everything with my wrath

I am the vast ocean who no one understands

I am emptiness

yet I am greatness

I am fear

while it rules my life

I am this African
