A Girl Like Me Poem by VUSI CHRIS VENUS MALALA

I saw it coming but I couldn't avoid it.
I knew it was about to happen
but I couldn't utter a word for it is said that you cannot stop something from happening if it was meant to.

Maybe I trusted my friends not knowing their intentions. They intoxicated me,
jeopadizing my purity and innocence
but as the story unvailed...
I learnt that they were not genuine.
I am me. I stand for what I believe is right for me.

maybe I betrayed them but it was for the better.
it was worth it.
Despite my vulnerability,
I had the courage to stand my grounds.
This is only because I was designed with expertise,
built with care and equipped with power and courage
It is superior craftsmanship that completed the art in this fine piece... That is me
