I Am Who I Am Poem by Nana Sampson

I Am Who I Am



He is faceless
He is heartless
He prides within shrouded sense of self righteousness
With everythn at stake
Humour me, he gladly wobbles in his mistakes
He always think himself wise
But the truth is otherwise
He forgets his lessons from yesterday
And lives a life today
As if there is nthn like another day
His thoughts are all dark from within
Just like his hexed skin


His eyes probe at me
Dont knw what he expects to see
A two-headed ugly beast
Or the deceitful devil himself?
I am who i am
Unlike u i dont pride to be a sham
Im a man
A beautiful black afrikan
I live within and without the sun
I can always boast
Im the only one nature can raise for a toast
Ur racist clouded judgement
Can never crush my priceless ego
An ego of princeless pride
To be an black afrkan
A beatiful black afrikan.
