Afia Gyimah Poems

Brown the colour
An earthy hue
Seen as duller
An evil review
...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My life is happy
I feel joy too and through
...

Oh, what I'd give for them to stay,
As I saw the petals float away,

My mind racing with intense emotion,
...

'Why are you so aggressive? '
Unknowingly oppressive
Questions
Open my mouth once
...

Why
Why
Why
Does time
...

Counting
Thinking
Trying
To let go
...

The first word
Isn't much
You may not care
You may not even look
...

The sky up above
A canvas of wonder and grace
An eternal expanse
Where dreams chase
...

I am the wilting flower,
Bent but unbroken,
The scars etched on my skin,
Testaments of the battles fought within
...

I am the dreamer,
The keeper of dreams
From the chains of history,
Liberation gleams
...
